That is not the case. Sometimes for stability, you don't want a rouge process crashing your system....assigning it a single proc limits is "crashivness" (like my new word?).
This is especially useful for program testing. You system can run on one CPU, while your lack of programing skills shine on your other 100.1% CPU
