True. There's one tiny bit though - try
pidof -o %PPID -x /usr/sbin/sshd
and watch it output several pids as well.
And you don't have to spawn yet another sshd, a simple ssh login will
suffice.
This particular part of pidofproc does not use pidof to get pid. It uses
pidof to guess the status of the process.
In the case of sshd pidofproc can break in a funny way indeed.

True, but that particular part haven't wrote itself, someone did it on
purpose.
