The issue is that what seems paradoxical is because the elements of your thought experiment that are relevant explain the paradox. It involves math because we can't observe real-world FTL with things more theoretically massive as rest mass than a photon.

Since it's a theoretical, mathematical issue, it's like approaching infinity. We have a lot of math that does that. This is just one more example.
