With that logic this echoes "echo". Question about echo!

echo `echo ` doesn't echoes anything. And it's logic. But echo `echo `echo ` ` does echoes "echo". What's the logic of it? the `echo `echo ` inside of the whole (first) echo, echoes nothing, so the first echo have to echo nothing but echoes "echo" (too much echoing :P):o

NAME

       efp - Escape from Pong NES game

SYNOPSIS

       nes [options] /usr/share/nes/efp.nes | /usr/share/nes/efp-rev.nes

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual page documents briefly the game Escape from Pong.  This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the origi-
       nal program does not have a manual page.

       efp is a game of pong for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) with a twist.	In this version you control the ball, and  your  objective
       is to escape the board safely.  You will need to fake out the paddle, fight against gravity, and avoid the (red) wall of death to survive.

       The  two  ROMs efp and efp-rev differ only in the direction of the thrust when using the arrow keys.  This is so that you can use whichever
       way is more comfortable for you.

NOTES

       You will need an emulator for the NES in order to play this game.  Unfortunately, I have found that it doesn't work correctly with all emu-
       lators.	 One that I have tested is FCE Ultra, so try that if your regular one doesn't work.  See /usr/share/doc/efp/README.Debian for more
       details.
