I don't normally give a damn about spelling on blogs as long as the correct message comes through, and I don't want to produce a major digression on this thread, but I was wondering if you actually mean "mute," as in "the question cannot be spoken (about)," or are you referring to the word in the commonly used phrase, "moot point?" That comes from the old Norse "moot court" which was a court where decisions that were not clear cut were extensively discussed. A "moot point" then is one that is open to discussion and various interpretations. I certainly could be wrong, but I don't believe there is such a phrase as "mute point."
