Whoops -- yep, you're right! (In my defense, it's very early and I'm very bad at words.)

- yaddayadda 13y agoI actually think "paradox" is a perfectly acceptable word in the context used. The common usage meaning - contradiction - is particularly apropos. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox edit: fixed nasty typo
- foobarbazqux 13y agoBut also the "paradox" in this situation is that it's perfectly doable to meet the contradictory needs of value for customers and profit for investors at once. Many such dilemmas have paradoxical both/and solutions.
- Goladus 13y agoI'd say "conflict" is better term than contradiction or paradox, since we're talking interests and desires rather than logical propositions.
