I had written an article related to the same topic :

https://medium.com/illumination/the-staircase-paradox-a-k-a-2-2-%CF%80-4-and-why-tangent-beats-all-5e02a15d80a7

Too bad you are receiving flames. Since the entire essence of the paradox was:

"The method involved in this paradox is exactly similar to how derivatives approximate all smooth curves using tangents and this kind of approximation is the essence of Calculus! Then what is so special about tangents which makes them to be suitable for approximating smooth curves without leading to the fallacies seen by the other methods?"
