Uhh, what if I told you that like most people with common sense and who realize that the initial conditions of a tournament are fixed in advance and that the ranking at the end only applies for that tournament and there are many other factors that influence who wins and loses in each match, I take tennis rankings with a grain of salt?

Hell I can even accept that player A > B > C > A if each has different skills and specialities that they bring to the table, without trapping myself and others into declaring it's some "paradoxical nonsense". Do we say rock < paper < scissors < rock and declare it's the end of mathematics?

Does anyone anywhere say that if something may appear to some people paradoxical (have you ever thought about what paradoxical means?) it is the end of mathematics?
