You got me so excited because I was like "Eaton! Okay I can figure this out!"

What’s wrong with this? Takes a bit to read, but it’s actually pretty clear. I like that it explicitly explains how to use it and you don’t have to guess.

One way to look at it is that there are a lot of steps.

Instead of just being direct, you have to shift through all the gears in the right order.
