Why is the hierarchy important? Well, because loggers can be set to
*propagate* their logging calls to their parents. In this way, you can
define a single set of handlers at the root of a logger tree, and

This propagation can be controlled on a per-logger basis. If
you don't want a particular logger to propagate to its parents, you
