LEGO of Frustration

I thought the point of LEGO was that there wasn't supposed to be any instructions?
I've been known to put together a LEGO ship or two in my day. I have a son and as anyone with kids will tell you, a large number of LEGO sets these days are more "model" kits than building blocks of infinite imagination. I run a 50/50 split at the Lopez house- 50% just blocks and about 50% kits. While he runs wild with the blocks, when it comes to the model it's a father/son effort.
This got me to notice a big oversight in the "instruction manual" (I still have a hard time putting that in the context of LEGO). They do cover all their bases, they just could be a bit more "user centered" when it comes to putting these things together....
