Why do they call this a 'near miss'? Surely it was a 'miss' or a 'near hit'

It's a miss that was near. In other words it only just missed.

It would be more correct to say nearly a hit rather than a near hit.

I was taught English by someone who was once joint winner of the Booker Prize so I ought to know what I'm talking about (even if I don't).

When I first saw this I could see the distortion caused by 'compression of perspective' by a telephoto lens.

Air travel would be much safer if only wide angle lenses were used, (perhaps)?
