What exactly does "before" mean? It's normally used when assuming that the rest of the sentence happens, like "take out the trash before going to school". What does it mean if it doesn't happen? If I don't go to school after all, do I still take out the trash? Or "remove the plastic before eating" - do I remove the plastic if I don't eat it? If I don't "create the new correct link" because it would loop, do I still "break the current parent/child link"? I don't think there's one correct way to read the sentence.
