Mrs. Berkley's Assumption

The portion of a document, typically a recipe or set of instructions, that includes leaps in logic that the reader cannot follow. The instructions can either be overly vague or misordered in such a way that it is not possible for someone to follow correctly the first time.
The original recipe
Two eggs, one cup of vinegar, one tablespoon full of flour. Beat all together and add two tablespoonfuls of vinegar, if not very strong, and one cup of cold water. Flavor with nutmeg. Reserve whites for top.
The original recipe is missing cooking time, cooking temperature and includes a final instruction that changes the first instruction.

Your recovery documentation was full of Mrs. Berkley's assumptions; it caused a worse outage than having one device down.
