A Paradox is
- A statement or argument which leads to a contradiction in its own foundation or premise, such as "The next sentence is false. The previous sentence is true."
- A statement that, while true, defies common knowledge by leaving out important details. For example "Alex was born February 29th, 1984. He has had 4 birthdays."
- Sometimes used to refer to a linguistic fallacy.
