> I never really liked them because it always bothered me why I was expected to follow the last instruction first, regardless of what it said.

I had a similar one, in fairness it started with something along the lines of: "read these instructions completely before you start".

Yes, but you still start with the first instruction.

It is like a function that changes behavior after the first time in executes. The first execution will still do what it says. You have to explicitly call out that you want the last step that modifies the previous steps to be ran first.

It is like when I help someone learning to code and they question why their statement on line 30 doesn't change what is happening on line 15.
