 Unfortunately, however, MOT\(^o\) has a number of paradoxical consequences. Bertrand Russell, Meinong’s most famous critic, put forward two objections against  MOT\(^o\).[23]  The first objection goes as follows: According to MOT\(^o\), there is an object that is both round and square, but such an object is “apt to infringe the law of contradiction”, since it would be both round and not round (Russell 1973c, 107).
