Ahh. I understand now. Social osmosis. I was thinking of osmosis as a phenomenon of physiscs. Which is when molecules move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. Being a physics man, that is immediately what came to my mind when I read osmosis so you can understand my confusion at the word's use here.

But yes, social osmosis does indeed work that way. But I oh so wish the sociologist wouldn't make false metaphors of physics terms. It always confuses the crap out of me.
