Doesn't multiple tasks at the same time make it simultaneous?

I think there needs to be a stricter definition here.

Concurrency is the ability of a system to chop a task into many tiny tasks. A side effect of this is that if the system chops all tasks into tiny tasks and runs them all in a sort of shuffled way it looks like parallelism.
