may be another's deviation from strict SOP
Long, long time ago at the line check debrief, a much older and much wiser check pilot observed to me something along the lines of "the front page of the manual really should have words to the effect of 'to be read with a bit of intelligent thinking and commonsense'".
That operator was keen on SOP .. but tolerated deviation provided there was a good and sensible reason at the time for such deviation ..
