Completely agree.  But I did phrase that intentionally as along with
hints from the GUI there are other ways to establish that as well,
whether they are correct or not is always a good question.  Examples
would be in the documentation and the every annoying popup 'hints'
that would describe this.  And documentation doesn't necessarily mean
written, but video as well in the form of tutorials etc. could be
useful as well for this purpose.  Note that I am not saying that is
the answer specifically in this case, in fact I don't think it is,
merely explaining why I used that particular phrasing.
