 > Why would we want to force a child url if the file it's pointing at
 doesn't exist?

 How do you know it exists until you check?

 Perhaps a theme would want to do something different if the child theme
 includes a specific file. If you're allowing children to override JS/CSS
 code, then this is possible.
