Nope, you're definitely not the only one. It's just really hard to understand what it's trying to say.

Another rule that was really helpful for me was to disallow anything that isn't yes/no for yes/no answers. If I ask "is the DB up?", I don't want it to take 5 minutes studying the schema to tell me if any of the tables need to be optimized or not.
