yeah, you can add most "paradoxes" to that list.

the one I hate the most is the Monty Hall Problem.

monty hall is not a true paradox. it could be classed as "veridical" (truthful) paradox, or i've seen it called a pseudo-paradox.

but you realize that it's unambiguously mathematically true without gimicky word-play or puns or other logic puzzle trickery.

it's just simply an un-intuitive result. most statistics really is.

curious: why the hate for the monty-hall problem?
