  "**The last line first.** An error is read by its last line, the one that matters; what it means and what to do are said in plain steps.",
  "**Against the card's own record.** `check` reads the packet against its own manifest and punch, so a changed file is named by name.",
  "**Nothing is edited.** The mender names what to do; it never edits a card's files.",
  "**The note carries no file of yours.** A report names the card, its edition and punch, this computer and the error — nothing else.",
  "**When it does not know, it says so.** An error of a shape it does not know still gets the four steps anyone can take."
