Yes, exactly. The name in common parlance as well as multiple parts of the description are kind of at odds.

I'm having trouble figuring out what Read the Freaking Manual is actually about. The description itself is very unclear (best I can figure it's "person arrogantly didn't read the manual because they think they can figure it out" but that's a relatively uncommon use of it on the page. The examples seem to be a hodgepodge of "this work referenced a manual," "actually reading a manual makes someone an Instant Expert," "it would behoove the characters to have read a manual (even if none was mentioned)," and a few of the "person arrogantly didn't read the manual because they think they can figure it out" examples I mentioned earlier.
Could I get some clarification?
