A group of students were given a car manual and told to follow the operating instructions in a completely literal manner.
He gave several examples that were pretty funny. The only incident I remember was the instruction to “Remove Handbrake” as part of the staring the car and moving off.
Remove Handbrake…The student pulled out a screw driver and started disassembling the handbrake and removing it from the car.
I had a lecture on that at university.

That’s genuinely a great way to evaluate a manual. People who read a manual likely read it because they don’t know much about the matter.
And if they don’t know much about the matter, they will not interprete or guess anything, but do exactly what’s written in that manual.
