        A requires B but B requires A so neither gets started.

        I think Catch 22 is A requires B but B nullifies A so A is guaranteed to not get started.

        but there’s no need to be that pedantic, casually speaking. people know what you mean when you say catch 22. we could also just say it’s paradoxical.
