Certainly not. Especially if you consider what actually happens in
osmosis; which is the passage of very small molecules across a passive
membrane. In practice, only water molecules are small enough. Which
means that osmosis is a dilution process. Not what you'd want to
happen to your knowledge... :-)

Among the great unwashed and under-educated that I grew up with,
osmosis was the magical passage of any knowledge into the teen-age
human brain.
If you wish to flaunt your dictionary acumen by practically quoting it
verbatim on me, save it. I looked it up before I wrote it, and decided
it was too narrow a definition. I stand by mine in defiance!
