It IS a paradox, you just happen to see the solution to the paradox.
Believe me, my wife cannot understand how I can spend an entire Saturday hacking something, but I'll get frustrated when I have to spend 2 hours fighting some bizarre problem just trying to copy a file across my network. She'll say "Aww, come on you love doing this stuff." And then I start screaming and throwing things.
