Last thought on this.  While in the manufacturing business years ago at KLM, we
had complaints about the assembly instructions.  From that point on, the
receptionist had a new job title.  "Assembly instruction manual tester".  When
the manual got to the level where she could put the antenna together
successfully, we shipped it.  Know thy user.
