Yes, but I think it's still a valuable option.  Suppose the idea isn't
to reach one of a number of people, but to reach one PERSON, who may
have multiple extensions (e.g., home and office).  If his home number
is busy, that means he's at home, so there's no point in ringing
phones looking for him elsewhere since you won't get him (and maay
disturb others around his other extensions).
