I think this one is easily solved: the person saying it is in the first group.
Right, but it's not a paradox - it's a conundrum. It's not just that the person saying it is part of the first group, but that they necessarily are.
Since people want to believe that they "know better," there's a strong urge to count oneself among the second group, which immediately places one in the first.
