Your Korean friend is right. Look at any shampoo bottle. Who do you know that really needs instructions on how to wash their hair. If you need those directions, perhaps you have no business using shampoo in the first place.

Also, they have a FULL PAGE of directions posted here at work on how to brew a pot of coffee. It's patently ridiculous. IMHO this is all company lawyers trying to cover their butt and justify their existence, which is really just a symptom of a larger problem of trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator. I'm glad Steve stands apart from that.
