I found this interesting. I personally don't think it's a paradox, but I think it's interesting that the logic behind it works.

If it's not a paradox, that the logic behind it works should never be interesting. How it works is another story.

I disagree. I don't approach it from the perspective of "it's not a paradox, therefore the logic behind it is interesting". I approach it from the position of "oh, this does work after all, neat, therefore this is not a paradox".

I sorta feel like I'm being chided by your comment, too, and I don't like that.
