Another case is listing a huge number of steps to do some task, without acting describing what the end goal for each set of instructions is (common in "how to" guides, and especially ones that involve a GUI).

This means that less technical users don't really understand what is going on and are just following steps in a rote way, and it wastes the time of technical users since they probably know how to achieve each goal already.
