Usually when you get owned, it's usually by someone superior to you in a certain field that both of you are somewhat good at. Getting Columbowned is far superior as it's the act of being owned in your "top field" by someone who is seen as stupid or much lower than yourself. Done in every episode of Columbo, he in fact Columbowns every murderer (with a few exceptions) with unorthodox methods, asking trapping questions, acting stupid, when he's in fact just building his case to Columbowning the suspect.
