A contradiction of a statement is a statement that proves the previous statement wrong.
To prove a statement by contradiction one begins by assuming the statement is not true. Contradiction is the act of giving the opposing something that you feel is not right.
A contradiction comprises a pair of statements which make mutually inconsistent assertions.

Your love for contradiction and paradox ricks of an underlying misology
If, by paradox, you mean a logical self-contradiction, the answer is NO, it is not a paradox. Its physical existence proves that it cannot be self-contradictory. However, if you mean something that is contary to received opinion but may yet be true, the answer is YES.
Yes, this phrase presents a paradox because it plays on multiple meanings of the word "see." It creates a humorous contradiction by juxtaposing the act of physically seeing with the act of using a tool called a "saw."
The truth seems to be that a crime was actually committed. Calling it "holy" would be the untruth.
One example of a paradox is the famous "liar paradox," which states: "This statement is false." If the statement is true, then it must be false, but if it is false, then it must be true, creating a contradiction. This paradox highlights the complexity and ambiguity that can arise from self-referential statements.
This statement is a classic paradox known as the "liar paradox." It is a self-referential statement that creates a logical contradiction. The statement cannot be definitively true or false, as it contradicts itself.
A paradox is a statement or situation that seems contradictory or absurd but may actually reveal a deeper truth or be logically plausible. On the other hand, a contradiction is a direct opposition between two ideas or statements that cannot both be true at the same time. In essence, a paradox presents a seeming contradiction that may hold truth, while a contradiction is a clear inconsistency.
An impossible statement. Perhaps conundrum, or better: paradox, contradiction. It could also be called 'undefined'.
There doesn't seem to be a term "paradoximal." It might be a misspelling of "paradoxical," which means something that appears contradictory but may be true. Could you provide more context or clarify your question?
