In Learn > The Stream API > The Gatherer API

I found the paragraph in the section on "Interrupting a Stream" initially quite confusing and wasn't sure what point it was getting at - in particular, from "It turns out":

It would be very inefficient to process all the elements from ints, which is the reason why this limit() call has the capacity to tell its upstream that it is not going to process any more element. It turns out that this upstream is returned by a map() call. The implementation of this operation should manage this interruption and push it to its upstream. This upstream pulls elements from the list, so it should stop doing that.

Can this paragraph be replaced with something clearer?

For what it's worth (take it or leave it) I asked ChatGPT to rewrite the paragraph in a clearer and more understandable way and this is what it came up with:

Suppose that you have a list containing one million elements. Processing every element with a costly map() operation would be inefficient if you only need the first ten results. The limit(10) operation solves this by stopping the stream once ten elements have passed through it. When that happens, the stream pipeline signals that no further elements are required. Each intermediate operation, such as map(), must propagate this stop request so that earlier stages also stop processing. As a result, the stream reads and maps only as many elements as necessary, rather than processing the entire list.

I find this much clearer and easier to understand - but does it fit the intended meaning?

At the very least, "element" in the original text should be pluralised.

Apologies if I'm just being dense. :-)
