I think the definition is wrong

[edit]

Leading someone down the "Primrose Path" is similar to "being lead down the garden path" the latter probably being a bastardization of the original Shakespeare quote. Being lead down the garden path more suggesting a person was deliberately deceived or gulled.

Primrose Path...

"A course of action that seems easy and appropriate but designed to end in calamity." Such as in a court of law when a witness is cleverly cross examined - putting them at ease, then turning evidence about proving a contradiction, leading to calamity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.121.186.28 (talk) 12:12, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
