If the problem is in understanding the manual, then my very strong opinion is that the question should be asked in terms of the manual.

This does three things:

1) Demonstrates good faith on the part of the enquirer that they have attempted to read the manual 2) Helps phrase the question in common terms with a minimum of unstated assumptions
3) Potentially leads to improvements in the manual

It is very good opinion, but people are not programmed robots.

The manual is not written for robots.
