Yes, they could surely have defined that.

I'd describe -T as a formatting option:

       -T, --truncate
                 Truncate  time.   So if a job started before --starttime the start
                 time would be truncated to --starttime.  The same for end time and
                 --endtime.

As I read this, it changes how a job is written, it does not select
jobs.

That sounds worse, yes.
