I think we are talking about different goals. If the goal of the test is for sheer fun "bug hunting", a more pragmatic approach should indeed be taken. If, as I interpreted it, the "business guy" is going to do some kind of acceptance testing, and you want to be able to perform this test multiple times, you want the tests to be specific and well documented.

In other words: OP, start with telling us what you want to achieve with your manual tests!
