MODERATORS
Counteract means to oppose something to reduce its effect. Contradict means to say or do something opposite or inconsistent with something else.
Note how they are not mutually exclusive
Perfect, I can now use any word thats not mutually exclusive completely dependently (interchangeably) and be appreciated (understood)
No, you definitely still have to match the meaning to the context. That's pretty fundamental to communication.
This attempted contradiction doesn't seem to counteract the above comment.
