I don't think you've quite clocked it. It's not that one of the statements has to be wrong, because that's just a point in the cycle. If A is wrong, then B is right, which means A is right, which means B is wrong, which means A is wrong and the cycle begins anew.

They aren't wrong, they're contradictory. There is no logical way to parse the two statements together. That's what a paradox is.
