More like "the crow fascination". I thought this was going to be related to the parable of the crow at least (not really a paradox either) in which the crow wants to get water from the bottom of a barrel which her beak can not quite reach. Being an engineer she realizes that she can raise the level of the water by dropping stones in. By the time she has dropped enough stones in the water has actually just moved to fill the voids between them. She continues to drop stones on the now overflowing barrel of stones unwilling to admit she should have just broken the container open in the first place. She dies of thirst shortly there after. Hows that for a kids book?
