So I actually checked and... turns out you're right.

According to Wikipedia, "paradox" can either mean "logically self-contradictory statement" or a "statement that runs contrary to one's expectation". I always thought that it meant the former only.

These two concepts should really really have separate words.

You "checked Wikipedia," is that it? You're done now?

You sound like you're trying to make a point. Make a point.
