I can't decide how much of my UR5e review needs rewriting

I wrote that our little enclosure transfer was 'straightforward to get running', which is an impressive claim from someone who arrived after the fixture and tray were ready. I did run the prepared UR5e exercise under supervision and liked it. How much should I rewrite when the experience was real but the credit wandered off in my direction?

Replace the setup claim with what you actually did. You can still say the prepared exercise felt straightforward, with the supervision mentioned alongside it.

Put the correction where readers will see it. Editing the middle quietly won't help someone who already repeated your setup claim to their manager.

What did you have to do when an enclosure wasn't sitting properly?

MeiBrooks, I called the demonstrator over and he checked the seating before we continued, so that goes in; Val, yes, I'll flag the correction at the top rather than pretending the original wording never existed.

Was the enclosure already the right way round when it reached you? That's the bit I'd want to know as a reader. A nice prepared tray can hide quite a lot of sorting.

I don't mind a happy first-impressions post. Sometimes I just want to know whether somebody enjoyed a session, not whether they have written a purchasing specification. But tell me it was a session, please. Otherwise I start imagining my untidy bench in place of their prepared one.

Rosa, I agree enjoyment is worth reporting, but 'straightforward to get running' is a setup claim. The correction matters even in a personal review.

Yep, we're agreeing on that phrase. I meant don't sand all the enthusiasm off with it.

Ella's sorting question is useful. I'd also say who prepared the enclosure tray. Not because every review needs a time study, but because that's a job somebody has to do.

Ella and MeiArcher, the demonstrator supplied the sorted tray as well, and I only refilled it from his arranged row of enclosures. I've posted the correction now with that detail and the seating interruption. Still says I had a good afternoon. That part wasn't fabricated.

Does it still say you 'programmed the transfer'? You selected the prepared exercise, from what you've described.

Oof, yes, in the caption. Changed that to selecting the prepared exercise. Thank you, Val; I'd reread the paragraphs three times and skipped my own photo caption.

Captions get read first. Annoyingly good catch.

The seating interruption is the most useful bit to me. It shows where you needed help without guessing whether you'd manage alone after training.

Did you get another chance to load it after the demonstrator checked the seat, or was that the end of the session? Curious how much of the handling you actually repeated.

Val has made me check an old workshop photo caption of mine. Apparently I 'built' a fixture someone had already drilled and assembled. I fitted one stop. Small correction going in there too.
