I'm interpreting "embarrassingly parallel" to mean that it's obvious the task can be parallelized, and I'm saying that many tasks where this isn't obvious in a more serial language are obvious in Erlang.

No, I'm not claiming Erlang breaks Amdahl's Law. I'm claiming that Amdahl's Law applies less often than people think it does.
