Well, not really. Next to the Diagram there is a list of the pieces and squares where they start,
(as is usual in Setup sections),
and the header of that list is in permanent view,
and says "Click below to display piece moves:".
So they don't have to open anything.
They just have to do as instructed.
And they should be able to count on it that such instructions do not mislead them into performing useless actions.
If the move diagrams were no good I should (and would) have omitted this list
(which is an optional 'satellite' embedded in the text) from the Diagram.
Or, as I did when the Diagram was only in a comment, before implementation of the new feature,
accompany it by a warning that the move diagrams are no good.
It is really a very far-fetched assumption that people would beforehand come to the conclusion
that the move diagrams must be no good without even trying,
no matter whether they are intimately familiar with the Diagram or not.
It even surprised me.
