All true except 'laminar' can't be an oxymoron.

Oxymoron - Examples and Definition of Oxymoron
https://literarydevices.net/oxymoron/
Oxymoron is a figure of speech pairing two words together that are opposing and/or contradictory. This combination of contrary or antithetical words is also known in conversation as a contradiction in terms. As a literary device, oxymoron has the effect of creating an impression, enhancing a concept, and even entertaining the reader.
