 Since ``pylint`` needs to import modules and dependencies to work correctly, the
 hook only works with a local installation of ``pylint`` (in your environment).
+
+Another limitation is that pylint should analyses all your code at once in order to best infer the
+actual values that are passed in calls. If only some of the files are given pylint might
+miss a particular value's type and produce inferior inference for the subset. Since pre-commit slice
+the files given to it in order to parallelize the processing the result can be degraded.
+It can also be unexpectedly different when the file set changes because the new slicing can change
+the inference. Thus the ``require_serial`` option could be set to ``true`` if correctness and determinism
+is more important than parallelization to you.

 If you installed ``pylint`` locally it can be added to ``.pre-commit-config.yaml``
