>I don't understand why it's called a paradox. It's just people having trouble understanding counterfactuals.

So? Most paradoxes can be described as "people having trouble understanding X".

The Liar's paradox is "people having trouble understanding meta-statements" (at least according to Russel's theory).

Zeno's Ahilles paradox is people not understanding convergent infinite series's.

The Potato paradox is people not understanding algebra.

The Friendship paradox is people not understanding statistics.

And so on...
