It seems that in many cases where pa'o is used, mo'i pa'o would be more accurate. Is this a misinterpretation on my part, or should this use be explicitly invalidated?
When the event already contains "movement" (some vector) by virtue of its selbri, then mo'i pa'o is more often wrong than correct. mo'i in general is usually wrong. --selpa'i
