The complementary chemical reaction to reduction is {{w|oxidation}} (mentioned in [[1693: Oxidation]]), which is what happens if the paper mortgage payment is burned, as referred to in the title text. They go together in {{w|redox}} reactions, which generally involve electron transfer from the {{w|chemical species}} which is oxidized to the one which is reduced. In that case, the pun about light (to start a fire) is that a reduced financial weight may seem light (not heavy). However, some forms of paper - particularly those used for things like receipts - possess a slight coating that limits their flammability. Cueball's statements appear to be made with such a paper, thus preventing Black Hat from burning the statements. | The complementary chemical reaction to reduction is {{w|oxidation}} (mentioned in [[1693: Oxidation]]), which is what happens if the paper mortgage payment is burned, as referred to in the title text.

+ | Black Hat's "weird trick" does alter the payment, yet in an unexpected manner, does not solve the actual problem, but in fact creates a different problem, in that Cueball has to reissue the payment check. | ||
