| Feb 8, 2015 at 11:57 | comment | added | Latty | The main issue is that while there is a good, common term for 'no effect', there 'total effect' is far less common and sounds a little odd. It's a little hard to quantify the maximum amount of effort in comparison to how easy it is to quantify that there is none. The closest that sounds reasonable to me would be 'maximal (or as close as makes no difference) effort' (although, it's obviously verbose). | |

| Feb 8, 2015 at 9:44 | comment | added | sqrtbottle | I've never come across such a phrase. In the same way that there's no (satisfactory) opposite to "negligible" as a word, I've never seen an idiom that would contrast this one. | |
| Feb 8, 2015 at 9:26 | comment | added | blgt | Actually that's not exactly what the phrase means. It's closer to "effect so negligibly little it may as well be non-existent" | |
| Feb 8, 2015 at 8:34 | comment | added | user66974 | Don't think there is a perfect opposite of it...I'd use 'large or total effect' | |
