Knowledge

Roger acknowledges receipt without demonstrating that critical details were understood correctly. Where an instruction requires verification, obtain the relevant readback and check it actively. The distinction helps reserve formal repetition for consequential items while avoiding false confidence from a familiar acknowledgment alone.
