Fortunately, I managed to hit up-arrow and backspace a few times, type '100', and hit enter once based entirely on a *guess* as to how this software works. It's a bit insane that the *default* approach to failure-to-parse-an-argument is to *assume* that the user wants the backlight set to *zero* percent.
