Limits are a false trail. Zeno deliberately confuses a
mathematical object with a physical object. Separate
the mathematical realm from the realm of natural
philosophy and the confusion disappears into the blue
sky. Jaynes calls it the mind projection fallacy.

Wow! So Jaynes actually _solved_ Zeno's Paradox? Didn't know that!!!
Great news! Is this a generally known (and accepted) result? :-o
