apply works as if you were calling the function with the elements of
the vector.  In other words:

  (apply inc [1 2 3 4 5) ==is like saying===> (inc 1 2 3 4 5)

Which is not what you want.

However, the following will with each individual element in the
vector, call a function and return a new sequence with the results in
each subsequent slot:

  (map inc [1 2 3 4 5]
  ;=> (2 3 4 5 6)
