The paradox assumes that all lies about the future turn out to be false. Since Pinocchio's nose grows whenever he tries to say something that is not true, whether it turns out to be true is irrelevant since the growth of his nose hinges on his intention rather than the result. He could therefore say "my nose will grow" believing it will not since he believes there is a link between his telling a lie and his nose growing. He would therefore assume that his nose will grow when saying something false. He would therefore be telling the truth and his nose would not grow. This would make him wrong, but not a liar. The paradox conflates lies with errors or falsity and therefore its foundational assumption is incorrect.
