No issue with that at all (unless you see me in wobble-mode), but it doesn't address the technical reasonng.
Pontious (i believe) made a comment earlier about the Boeing manuals being increasingly vague and bereft of Indepth knowledge(my words), which does leave a number of unanswered questions that simply have a 'procedure' with no technical understanding of the why.
By all means follow the procedure as laid out. But it would still be good to know how we got to that point.
