In English, the construction "run these substeps in parallel: A, B, C" means "run A, B and C in parallel with each other". However, in specifications, it has the specific meaning of running A, B and C sequentially on a background thread (that runs in parallel with the main thread).

Assigning the phrase to mean the exact opposite of its standard meaning in English is... unfortunate.
