So -- when I was in college I had to read Robert M. Pirsig's
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. It was a required text for Cell BIology Lab. Yes, it's true -- and yes, the professor was (rather literally) nuts. I don't remember all that much about the book any more, but I
do remember the narrator teeing off on the outrageously poor quality of
instruction manuals. His pitch was that no company wants to waste good engineers' time on the low-value task of writing the manual, so they foist it on the worst gold-brick in the organization, because, that way, the harm he (in those days, most were "hes") would do was minimal. That sounded about right to, you know, 19 year old me.
So, it was refreshing today to see this example of a modern manual.
Sound like good advice from the mfgr. to me.
