“Infinities are weird” might satisfy your criteria.
It surfaces in such things as
- why do we consider 0.9̅ and 1 to represent the same number?
- why are there ‘as many’ even integers as there are integers, and ‘as many’ integers as there are natural numbers?
- why are not all infinites equal?
If you don’t know/accept these, you’ll keep using intuition that served you well for many, many problems on finite sets on problems involving infinite sets, with disastrous results.
