I think you're erroneously correct ;-)

Google's def. includes: "deafening silence and a mournful optimist",
which are also both "proper expressions", however it seems that
_intent_ is necessary to form an oxymoron, as in "A rhetorical device
in which two seemingly contradictory words are used together /for
effect/"...

Now watch as I cleverly bring this back on topic:

Since the "e" in Apple IIe stands for "enhanced", would the
occasionally-used term "unenhanced Apple IIe" be considered an oxymoron?
