In a class I took many moons ago, we were given an
assignment to write a procedure on how to use a chair.
The audience was aliens who were built differently so
they didn't have chairs - they normally perched like
chickens. Everybody in the class bombed on the first
attempt because nobody thought to include any
information on how an alien could distinguish a chair
from a table.

And I can understand why the extra cost on your
"muffin" fans - Radio Shack products usually aren't
depth charge rated.
