Just to point out that arithmetic context can be more efficient; no bugs,
except for a /minor/ possibility (second last comment.)

A minor #bash point in passing: although these values of i are safe, for
tutorial code, I really would recommend quoting: echo "$i" (or "${i}"). It's
better to get people used to quoting by default, and only not quoting iff
they need field-splitting on parameter expansions (eg for a variable used
for command options.)

((..)) is quicker than [[ .. ]] for arithmetic stuff, and usually easier to
grok swiftly.
(($#)) || die .. is how this would normally be done.

(($# == 0 || $# > 2)) && die.. # does it in one command, with no subshell.
[[ $# -eq 0 || $# -gt 2 ]] && die .. would work too, but more slowly.
In general if you want to do complex chains without a subshell, you would
use: { } && .. instead of: ( ) && ..
TBH I would type (($#==0||$#>2)) in bash, though I space in C, where it
doesn't affect execution time. But it's not as clear, especially if you're
not in a highlighting editor.

I'm not sure how this will ever match, given that $1 has been checked above?
(($#==1)) && return 0 # if that applies (might be a 'bug'.)
