$ man make
       -B, --always-make
            Unconditionally make all targets.

       -W file, --what-if=file, --new-file=file, --assume-new=file
            Pretend  that  the  target  file has just been modified.  When used
            with the -n flag, this shows you what would happen if you  were  to
            modify  that  file.  Without -n, it is almost the same as running a
            touch command on the given file before running  make,  except  that
            the modification time is changed only in the imagination of make.

OK, -W mentions -n, but -B doesn't.

That makes it seem like -B means Business, so no wimpy -n will affect
it. So please mention -n there too.

Also mention on -B and -W that they are like opposites.
(No I didn't try mixing them.)

No I didn't look at the info page today. I'm just talking about the man page.
