hmm, I see the point. But isn't that just the limitations of classical logic? Just seems like a question of semantics rather than a clash between logic and intuition, but maybe I don't get it

It is a clash between classical logic and intuition, which is the point -- it indicates a difficulty with applying classical logic, and encourages us to take up other avenues.
