        If a highly improbable spaceship had to dedicate all of its processing power to making a cup of tea, I suppose I can forgive an end user for having to think about it.

            But what temperature?!

            FWIW, my reference was to H2G2 and the Heart of Gold.

      All lot of it is, without exageration, more at the

      Put the proper side inside the cup

      level of clarity: in other words just moving the “everybody should know this” element around rather than concretely just coming out and clarifying the bit that in the programmer’s mind is “obvious”.

        If you’re specialised enough it can be really hard to tell what’s obvious. Like, you don’t want to do “grab the mouse, which is one of your computer peripherals” either. Or at least, I worry about doing something like that, and coming across as a dick.

        Relevant XKCD.

        A lot of it is just “put it in”

      It does say “leaves” and not “bag”
