This is true. But you'd want to ask whether or not you want one join table 
for for work phone numbers, one for personal phone numbers, and possibly 
others for other phone numbers. Easier to have one join table for 
PersonInfo - PhoneNum, and keep an attribute in there that describes the 
nature of the phone number.
