That's fair, the thing I'm looking for isn't quite a contradiction.
What I like about Zeno's motion based paradoxes is they have this aspect of "here's a reasonable model of motion, and here's the ridiculous result you get from it." There's clearly something wrong in the model, but working it out takes a while, you need someone to come around and invent series first.
After a little reading, I think I just like falsidical paradoxes and don't like veridical paradoxes.
