The Sleeping Beauty Problem is not genuinely paradoxical. It is an Oxymoron (URB #487) generated by conflating two entirely different questions — one about a fair coin, one about an awakening protocol — within the same formal probabilistic framework. The "Thirder" answer (P(Heads) = 1/3) is the correct response to the question "in what fraction of awakenings will you be in a Heads-world?" The "Halfer" answer (P(Heads) = 1/2) is the correct response to the question actually asked: "what is your credence that the coin landed Heads?" IFF the coin is **truly fair**, then P(Heads) = 1/2 is a physical ground truth — not an epistemic claim — and no awakening protocol whatsoever can alter a fact about a physical coin. The Thirder position, in treating awakening events as Bayesian evidence about the coin, commits a category error: it upgrades a guaranteed event into informative evidence. This is a living refutation of naive Bayesianism. The paradox dissolves completely at the level of question-disambiguation.
