Let me put it this way - if you have a child in your house running around with a carving knife threatening your other children, what would you prefer to do?
a) remove the knife from the child and make it difficult for the child to get the knife?
b) call the police and hope they get there in time to deal with the situation?
c) stand their stroking your whiskers and saying to yourself "hmmm, no matter whether I remove the knife from the child or not, if the child is determined enough, they will get a knife and threaten the other kids, so I might as well just let nature take its course?"
A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.
If you are seeing an apparent paradox, that means you are missing something.
