What does the following phrase mean mean your only weakness is in your Achilles' Heel?

The question doesn't make sense because it's stating the obvious. The term 'Achilles' heel' refers to a person in Greek Mythology who was the son of an immortal nymph who tried to make him immortal by dipping him in the river Styx. She forgot to wet the heel she held him by, thus making him immortal, all but his heel. So when we refer to someone's 'Achilles' heel' we are referring to their weak spot. So the question doesn't make sense because one's 'Achilles' heel' is one's only weakness so it's an obvious question.
