I've read this a few times, and it still doesn't make sense. If a sixth note is equal to a dotted eighth, that would make the time signature 1/6 equivalent to 3/8.
That's right.
And from what I know of math and music, that doesn't seem right to me.
It's not supposed to match normal math.
Putting it a different way, 6 sixth notes gives you a whole note, ...
No, it doesn't. You're taking the "sixth note" literally, as if it really were one-sixth of a whole. That's the false assumption that leads to the fallacy.
