It truly is. Joe and I spent an hour or so trying to figure it out. In the end it remains unclear if we just learn things in an order, like a "sweet red candy" but not a "red sweet candy" or whether there is a logic behind it. I prefer to believe there is - I just haven't figured it out.
In the case of 'sweet', it modifies nouns in the category of thing in my mouth. Those are entirely within the applicability range of red/not_red. So it is not about what is true or false, rather about how "sweet" applies to a subset of what "red/not_red" applies to.
