>>>As Pete says, readers don't read notes. But it has been observed that
readers don't read steps either.

To be honest, I feel the real reason we have instructions and warning notes is for the lawyers, not necessarily the users. Ok, so I'm pessimistic, but go ask your boss what's more important: Will the user understand the instructions? OR Will the user file a class action law suit against us because of these instructions?
