    I don't see any problem.

    The contradiction is there because someone put it there. If you say "the barber only shaves men who don't shave themselves" and "The barber shaves himself" then you've created the paradox arbitrarily. If the former statement isn't true (which it can't be if the latter is true) then the problem is solved, and as far as I can see it's an arbitrary, independent statement.

    So basically the "problem" says "The barber doesn't shave himself, but the barber shaves himself."

    *Edit: never mind. I missed the point and inadvertently agreed with the theorem.
