LVM - pvmove to a smaller volume

my understanding is that if you add additional PV (physical volume) to a VG (volume group) that hosts your LV (logical volume) you should be able to issue pvmove like so:

# Move a range of physical extents to a
#       specific PV (which must  have  suffi‐
#       cient free extents).
       pvmove /dev/sdb1:1000-1999 /dev/sdc1
