OK, we are on the same page here. But I would modify  your statement "there 
is no /logical/ way  to reconcile the paradox" to read "there is no 
/logical/ way to reconcile the  paradox that I am aware of or can grasp with my 
limited human  mind."

 
TK:  You are correct, that is what I should have said.

RCM:
 
Here I beg to differ. The logical problem can make a  big difference in our 
lives, viz. Zadok & Beitus and an unknown army of  others who have been led 
astray by this merely "logical" problem that  "makes no practical  
difference."

 
TK:  Well, when they used a question of logic as an excuse to do what  they 
wanted and to absolve themselves of responsibility -- they were  exercising 
their bechira!
