wiat, i don't get it.

if you have 14 water, and your opponent has 15, it will drain some of the water quanta?

odd.  in college (bio major) we were taught explicitly that it was water only.  On the net, I am finding people have been taught otherwise.  Then again, those people could have gone to some Caribbean or online college, and/or not payed attention in class.  So I'm going to stick with what I know, when I see osmosis, I think strictly H2O.

And 'diffusion' would still work with the concept, considering osmosis is a special case of diffusion.
If bio-major, then I understand. Not in a pejorative sense, but Biology deals with much less inorganic materials; of the biologically important liquids, only water can undergo osmosis.

Yeah, diffusion is still high-to-low, so I don't see how it doesn't fit the card.
But... Osmosis is the diffusion of the solvent from low-to-high. That's the difference. The concentrated solution gets more diluted.
It's late here but later I think I will change the name.

Yes. The one with 14 would lose some and the other would get it and some damage.
