Yes it IS true, but whether that's true is off-topic here since my
advice was a direct response to someone who said his query was too
complex. So, telling him to change it and use more joins is pointless.
The example was only brought up for one reason: to illustrate the
possibility to completely detach the ORDER BY and LIMIT part from the
rest of the "complicated query" as leverage against the "too complicated
to change" argument.
