It is not. Peter Miller's emphasis is about make being able to traverse
the whole dependency tree the way it reckons, rather that traversing
it a sub-tree at a time in the order dictated by the top-level makefile
without ever being able to see the whole tree at once. E.g. using
`include' rather than `$(MAKE)'.
