I thought this straight away, and someone's just mentioned it on digital spy.

The judges seem ridiculous but they can't be that stupid, and Simon must know that saying Paije has 0% of winning ensures Paije will get more votes. He then goes on to say that Aiden and Mary are safe (or something to that effect) meaning that people are less likely to vote to save them. People that are on the fence may vote Paije over Aiden/Mary, because they think he's in more danger.

It wouldn't surprise me if Simon wanted Aiden and Mary out over Paije, because he may think they have a better chance of winning, and obviously he wants 1D to win. Although this would be stupid because let's face it, there's practically no way Aiden or Mary will beat 1D anyway. Then again, he seems to like keeping more interesting acts in, and that's Aiden. Who knows?

Maybe I only noticed this because I'm paranoid about Aiden's somewhat precarious position on the show, but it seemed suspicious to me. They must know how voting works, and it seemed very manipulative to me.
