checklist ambiguity

According to ICAO doc 8168 Vol 1 SOPs chapter 2;
"Checklist responses should portray the actual status or the value of the item (switches, levers, lights, quantities, etc). Checklists should avoid non-specific responses such as "SET", "CHECKED" or "COMPLETED". "

I find myself responding SET, CHECKED or COMPLETED in 80% of the items on most checklists. In fact I have yet to see a checklist where Set, checked or completed is nonexistent.

Is this a design error or do I misinterpret the lovely doc 8168.
