Great tip, thanks! I'm not adding it or changing the article, because I don't want to introduce too many complexities while introducing a new command. I'd like the reader to focus on the principle rather than maximum efficiency (which introduces complex syntax).
Your comment serves as a great addendum, though.
Good catch, thanks. You are correct; --jobs in fact limits how many parallel jobs are spawned (as mentioned later in the article), it doesn't affect the arg count.
I've update the text to reflect your correction. Thanks!
