The invention of certain technologies at a certain time had effects that didn’t match the prediction and they don’t know why. Someday somebody will figure it out and the model will be better.
Also known as “being wrong”. Being wrong is fine. It’s great even. It means that there’s more to discover and improve. Calling it a “paradox” is a pathetic, self-serving attempt to save face when presented with evidence that makes them look bad. Instead of saying “We don’t know, but we’re working on it,” they pass it off as unsolvable.

Paradox was a word chosen by the journalist for clicks.
Not knowing enough is not the same as being wrong. They are different things.

Maybe. Until they start calling this out for the farce it is, I’m gonna blame them as much as the journalists pushing the hype.

I’m angry at social science. Just not about this specifically.
