I think the psychology here is a bit different. People are always lazy and won't read the instructions (unless they are very short) until explicitly asked - but that's not really the big deal. The real issue is that you rarely get very good by reading instructions, *compared* to how good you get by knowing exactly what you did wrong and what should be done to get it right. In lots of cases it is possible to make a mistake without realizing that it is one of the cases mentioned in the documentation. Therefore it is important to have effective per-string communication *and* good guidelines. Since a reviewer had to change the string anyway, it's not much trouble to write a short notice to the translator about why the string was changed - this is really what we need, I think.
