OK. The handler level is checked in Logger.callHandlers(), whereas the
logger level is checked in calls such as Logger.info(), Logger.debug() etc.
The getEffectiveLevel() call returns a logger level - either one set in the
logger for which getEffectiveLevel() is called, or the nearest ancestor
logger which has a level set.
