I have had pilots read the title and then read the wrong checklist, so it can't to make sure the correct checklist is being read.

Considering some guys on here object to having to call the FMA, why do we then encourage other superfluous talking?
I would suggest that one rationale could be, say an interruption immediately after calling for the checklist and so could be useful for PM restate the title. Just a thought.
