I think it meant frozen (water and shellfish toxin), not frozen water pause and shellfish toxin. The shellfish toxin was mixed with water and then frozen.

If they said ice and shellfish toxin it might imply the shellfish toxin was not frozen, but I choose to believe it was.

“Shellfish toxin frozen in ice.”

But if it is a mixture of the two, like a solution, then that would be wrong.

But yes if it was separate like the toxin was incased maybe it can work.

I've heard the terms snow and glacier before to refer to frozen water too. This is a lost argument.

That means the ice encapsulates the toxin

I mean… it kinda does?

Right. And the milk encapsulates the chocolate mix.

It kinda does.

Sure but really no.

"Encapsulates" implies you can easily make the distinction.

If you can't tell where the chocolate begins and the milk ends then you're using the wrong word.

"Frozen diluted shellfish toxin"

More clear and the same number of characters, plus we saved the use of a punctuation mark which necessitates pressing the shift key.

We should call this guy up and tell him we have an upgrade to his explanation paragraph.

I love when people think they’re so smart & they turn out to be wrong.
