How is misapplied probability theory a paradox?

• jerf 17y ago
  As much as I hate to wave the dictionary around in a comment, a paradox is an apparent contradiction that may not actually be one, and usually isn't. You don't need an actual contradiction to have a "paradox". (I'd argue an actual contradiction is simply a contradiction and not a paradox at all, but the dictionary I consulted disagrees.)
