Relevant quote: "Reading the `-R` section of the manpage of `screen` the user
might think that `screen -R` always resumes a detached session, instead it
prompt which session to choose after two have been detached."

And indeed:

   -R   attempts to resume the first detached screen session it finds.

But:

→ screen -R
There are several suitable screens on:
        10105.pts-30.snidget    (Detached)
        9880.pts-30.snidget     (Detached)
        5938.pts-30.snidget     (Detached)
Type "screen [-d] -r [pid.]tty.host" to resume one of them.
