   • 2022, Nicholas Gayle, Conrad and the Being of the World, page 25:

     We can even go further: when we consider an object in everyday life we do not usually just undermine or overmine it as if it demanded an either/or approach, but rather we run the two processes in tandem: duomining, as Harman labels it.
