Just the odd mind-screw that's all. Some thing as saying that mathematically, since you must travel halfway to get anywhere before you arrive, you never can get anywhere. You go a foot. Then 6". Then 3. Then 1 and a half. And so on. You keep dividing the number. You never reach zero.
That's fine in a theoretical sense with points on a line, since they are points, not physical entities, but in real life, yes you actually get to your destination quite frequently.
What I want to know is, why is a pair of pears only two pears? That should be four pears. And as everybody knows, four pears equals 8.
