The Garden Path
“The man who hunts ducks out on weekends.” That’s a garden-path sentence, where what comes last undermines what came before. Jokes and optical illusions often work on the same principle.
        When organizations or individuals behave in “garden-path” ways,
        frustration, confusion, and disappointment result.
