It's a paradox.

Given American usage, I would say irony.

Paradox: Something that cannot be true, but is.

Opposite of Paradox: Something that must be true, but is not.

I'm not sure if there's a word for that, though. Tautology is not precisely the opposite (it's something that must be true, and is), but is perhaps as close as we have.

To have something that must be true but is not...isn't that a paradox?

Opposite of Paradox: Something that must be true, but is not. Those are both paradoxes. And you can easily switch between them by negating Something.

Tautology seems the best answer to me.

What not an entire flock of geese?

Tautology seems to work well enough. I'll have to ask my Philo prof. and see what he says. He'll probably just go on about god and ethics or something though.
