As an anecdotal example of your second paragraph: quite a few years ago, while attempting (and failing) to uninstall MSN Messenger, I had to search for the percentage it failed at. It was quite fortunate that others had mentioned the same percentage - but it would have been so much easier and more reliable if I had a name for step it failed at.

@Bob LOL! This happened white running Eclipse and trying to install on a virtual Android device. It failed and it got a name when failing :-)
