If I were to tell you that I practice an "Officer Obie" style of documentation, would you know I meant...
[Unknown site tag]"twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against us. Took pictures of the approach, the getaway, the northwest corner the southwest corner and that's not to mention the aerial photography."
As in this: http://www.lehigh.edu/%7Ewww/make_www/ssh_ftp_web.html
(And yes, 3 years after I left, Lehigh still has pages linked on the help pages that I wrote. Most of them have not been changed. There's one for using Mozilla Composer. Another for Dreamweaver 2004. 'Nuff said.)

I'd rather get too much than have the person list almost everything, then skip lightly over the one piece that *wasn't* self explanatory - to me, at least. Which I find happens all too often with computer instruction - they w9ill, for instance, tell me how to hit the On button, but then have everything start at a page I can't find...
That's the way I teach people on jobs, too. I always start with a disclaimer (the only way I can be sure I won't skip something) and then tell them everything. My experience is that the ones who complain are the ones who *don't* get the obvious if I don't spell it out, so...
