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.
