I agree with Shmuel 100% (something I do not often say LOL). His point is the point I was trying to make earlier. I have so often read that explanation where I was the bottom line, and so it becomes "Look in the mirror and contact yourself."
Frankly, I think it is often a crutch. What is really means is "we don't quite know how to explain it." It's like when you asked your Dad where babies came from, and he said "ask your Mom."

IAC, my experience is that application programmers don't like to read; they go to the systems programmer and ask him what the message means. In that situation, "ask yourself" is a maddening "explanation".
