Programmers and sysadmins are always imprecise at the exact place
where five lines of code to be copied and executed would get the
user what he wants.  They are imprecise for more than one reason.
But one reason is, in part, a good reason: they do not know.
They know that they could produce the five lines and get them
executed, in twenty minutes of work on the system, but at the
moment they cannot type out these lines.  So they explain what
needs to be done.  This explanation would suffice, if the user
had the general expertise the sysadmin has.  Without this
background expertise, the explanation is of little direct use.
