The infamous "bozo benchmark" is when you install and start using the thing without reading any
directions or warning labels. This benchmark can be used for
everything from computer components to
motorcycles, weed-whackers, and firearms.
My wife says that the "bozo benchmark" is merely a cheap fiction that I created to justify my
typical male tendency to want to wade into stuff without reading the
instructions. By enshrining that tendency as a benchmark, I legitimize it! She is,
of course, completely correct.
