That argument seems like complete nonsense.  You're confusing work
allocation strategy with the implementation technology for the multiple
working threads.  I see no reason why a good allocation strategy couldn't
work with either approach; indeed, I think it would likely be easier to
do some things *without* client-side physical parallelism, because that
makes it much simpler to handle feedback between the results of different
operational threads.
