Don't pass off your inability to understand the wording of the spell as contradictory and horrible.
Though if you insist on doing so, I guess you've complimented those of us who had no trouble understanding what the words of the spell actually meant.
But, checking your post against the actual text of the spell, you've failed to state the text of the spell correctly. Perhaps that's the issue? You can't accurately read the words on the page. They say one thing; you read another.
You claim the spell specifies "it's impossible to tell which of the images is real"
This is not what the text actually says. What it does say is that "it’s impossible to track which image is real."
There is a difference. In one version, the correct version, you can, at times, tell which is the real image. You can clearly tell which the real image is if you attack and hit the real image. Though you would then quickly lose track as the images continue shifting.
It also never says that it's impossible to target the caster. Nowhere in the spell description does it say this. Nowhere in the rules does it say this. As far as I can tell, you've made this up. You can't, generally, target something with a spell if you can't see it, but Mirror Image doesn't make you invisible. Mirror Image is an illusion that makes duplicate images of you.
