I guess it could mean that, but as you say, it doesn't seem to mean
anything useful. Maybe, somewhere, there is some situation where such a
thing might make sense, but something that specific would probably
deserve much more than just one ambiguous line. Maybe you've got a time
machine that can send happiness to people in the past. By pressing this
button, /I make him have been happy./
