The basic solution to the paradox is integral calculus. The normal statement of the paradox keeps using smaller and smaller time intervals. Integral calculus lets you take an infinite number of infinitely small areas and have it add up to a finite answer. (Which is scary at first, but you get used to it pretty quick.) Once you have that insight, the paradox goes away and the normal view of velocity versus time gets strengthened.
