Make sense.
Tried to improve this comment like below:
```
If we subscribe only to pub_lower_level, changes for tab4 will be published
through the "middle" partition table. However, since we will be subscribing to
both pub_lower_level and pub_all (see subscription sub2 below), we will publish
changes via the root table (tab4).
```
