How many args does inc supports ? Only one. (apply inc [ 1 3 ]) is the same as (inc 1 3) which would also trigger an arity exception.
apply does not call the given fn on each item in the collection it's given, it calls it once with the whole collection as the argument list. (map inc [1 3]) calls inc on every item in the vector and would return (2 4). Hope it's clear.
