This reminds me of an exercise in 5th grade: write detailed instructions to be followed _exactly_ to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The teacher would then follow the instructions exactly and hilarity ensues, teaching something about expectations, assumptions, instructions, etc. "I didn't know I had to tell them to _open_ the bread bag!"

It is a reason why I like to teach by asking questions so I can learn where they have gaps and help them see their own gaps. "How does the teacher actually access the bread?" "oh, we have to open the bag first!"
