You have major issues with being clear and concise. You seem to have a run on thought process in which you get lost in your own train of thought and seem lose focus of the greater issue while fleshing out the smaller points.
For the record, that's not an insult. Many of my friends have this quality and although it can be very useful, I often find myself having to direct them back to the argument because they've got themselves lost in thought.
I can't respond to most of your post because you're trying to reply to my whole post rather than key points. It makes it very difficult to stay on track.

>But everywhere I look, both words mean that both statements are conflicting between each other.
Yeah, I was being pedantic. I even acknowledged that there are other definitions. I would never personally use them as there are many more accurate words.

>unless that you are going for the precise definition of saying exactly the opposite of what one says, the word is also valid for situations and mockery.
so, you were intentionally misusing the word irony? I don't understand.
if you wish to demonstrate your point, often you can replace the word in contention with its definition. For example:
>well, I have happened to encounter many ironies and paradoxical moments along the way.
to
well, I have happened to encounter many ironies and "moments that seem to be contradictory, but are nonetheless true" along the way.
now replace ironies and end this,

I still admit I'm being pedantic still, but I'm having fun with this.
