Close only counts in horseshoes and hand-grenades.
It means there is no such thing as almost shot, almost in a head-on collision, almost had a heart attack, almost scored, almost sank that putt, or almost won the lottery.
If a bullet misses you by an inch or a mile it makes no difference.
If you almost got hit by a car, you still didn`t get hit by that car any more than you got hit by one a mile away.
In other words, it means exactly what it says. Your experience of ``close``has nothing to do with the reality of ``missed.``

Is 'near-miss' an oxymoron?
Sure. No. Near would mean close but not quite touching, and miss also means nearly hitting, or not hitting what you where trying to, but either way you look at it, the words are not opposites, which is required to be an oxymoron, such as awfully good, or military intelligence... Near miss might be best described as a redundancy, in keeping with Answer B, and the old saw: A miss is as good as a mile. Presidential Oversight... Is this an oxymoron? Tricky, given that 'oversight' is really a Janus word, a word which also means its opposite. I love military intelligence-- this could become a very entertaining stream...
