No, it's not opinion. I've seen enough recursive build systems to know that 
Miller's paper is correct. One cannot do reliable iterative builds 
(especially not parallel ones) with a recursive build system. One always 
have to "make clean" and build from scratch to get reliable results. What a 
waste of time.
