There is no paradox in this version. This is because there are not two
but THREE options:
(1) All Cretans always tell the truth.
(2) All Cretans always lie.
(3) Cretans sometimes tell the truth and sometimes lie.
Clearly (1) and (2) cannot hold, so (3) must. The Cretan is lying about
Cretans always being liars in this case.
