Inventing a different physics and declaring it to be more correct certainly works, but is kind of a boring answer to the problem. It plainly is a contradiction

Inventing a different physics and declaring it to be more correct certainly works, but is kind of a boring answer to the problem.
It plainly is a contradiction given that there’s a system where it gives a different answer. If it wasn’t a contradiction then it would be equivalent (or somehow a superset?) and wouldn’t solve the problem.
Ignoring the problem as unphysical makes much more sense to me. The real world doesn’t follow Newtonian physics anyway, it’s effectively just a simplification useful for certain common situations. No need to care about edge cases that can’t happen.
