This is a classic case of 'work to spec' vs 'work to practice'. Yes, people should go of the official documentation rather than what works in practice, but it is obtuse to presume everyone will do it in the same way.

Normally, I'd say that those who ignored the spec deserve less consideration. However, when that involves giving less consideration to 100+ passengers as well, that changes.
