Well, sort of. You might say I'm advocating acknowledging that it's a paradox and considering that the end of it. Remember, I'm using the term meaningless (perhaps I should have said "useless") to mean that it tells us nothing. Not in the sense that it makes no claims, but in the sense that it contains no information. It's not clear to me that this kick starts the paradoxical loop like you're implying.
