They're saying it’s similar to a garden path sentence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden-path_sentence - it’s easy to parse wrong at first

Yeah I understood that, it's just that even when I read it the alternative way they misread it, I get nearly the same meaning and it is sensible, no oxymorons to be found.

Maybe I'm further from native level than I thought and it's just not hitting my ears nearly as bad, I don't know.
