I used to phrase it as "Which part of the explanation is unclear"; maybe they 
legit did RTFM and the information was ambiguous or flat wrong.

Yes, that last does happen, and I can't reaonably expect a user to recognize 
and deal with it.

I try hard to always say which FM and where the information is in it when
saying RTFM.
