Well. First of all, it was a comment based on what Ken was doing. But you are correct.
That's one reason I tend to use sysctl for querying, and sysctl -w for changing, resource limits. (The other is that the syntax is significantly less shell-dependent.)
The problem with that is that you can deal with the hard limits, but tricky with process limits. The classic "what commands must be built-in in a shell".
