In the text describing the additivity of appenders. It does not make it clear that for a logger L, when its additivity is set to false, then L will not inherit its ancestors' output targets. The text only states that the descendants of L will not inherit the output targets of the ancestors of L. The table below the text also shows that, the logger named "security" has its additivty set to false and doe not inherit the root logger's output targets. So, in summary I think the text should be more clear on this fact.
