The trouble is you never believe the instructions these days,

Whilst I can sympathise, methinks I read here someone else's tale
about an item or a procedure that ought to be followed.
The manufacturer of that item had put a subtle warning on the label:
"Before you do it your way, do it our way."

Tektronix used to (maybe still do) do that with their excellent and complex
oscilloscopes. They also said "please".

But the instrument wouldn't bite you, merely not work if not driven
correctly.

In my kitchen I have similar dire warnings on surface descaler and washing
soda.

When the state devalues warnings to that extent, the system becomes useless
