antimony vs antinomy

antimony (stibnite) (caution: poison - symptoms like arsenic exposure)

antinomy (Greek αντι-, against, plus νομος, law) literally means the mutual incompatibility, real or apparent, of two laws. It is a term used in logic and epistomology. [from wikipedia]

Of course Tina knows perfectly well that both descriptions of customers are true.

The question that remains, is - are both truths apparent or real ?
What makes a truth real ?

what would make scott adams speechless ?
