This title was close to being a garden path sentence, but ultimately avoided it.

Yes, daemonized children must always be killed; preferably by the parent, but any reaper would also work.

Is that a forking path sentence? If so, whoosh.

I have never undestood why garden path sentences are interesting. They can always be rewritten to make more obvious sense. Its like saying theres a way to take any sentence and remove some words to make its intended meaning confusing. I dont personally find this interesting, just frustrating that the author didnt take more time to use punctuation or more words to convey explicit meaning.

Tell more about garden paths in this context, I'm curious!

I had no idea what a garden path sentence was, too, but wiki to the rescue:

The horse raced past the barn fell

I still have never managed to understand that one properly

I think it shall be interpreted like this: The creature who fell was the horse (that was previously raced past the barn). I.e. it was not the barn that fell.
