How to understand --step option in RRD?

Am I correct that value of --step option is used solely for pre-calculating the data slots in RRD? Or does RRD somehow expect updates with interval specified with --step?

RRDtool will 're-sample' the data you provide to be in --step interval before continuing to process it. You can deliver as many updates as you wish. RRDtool will take them all into account when building the --step interval.
