I guess its like one of those digilocks
where people always wrote the codes as "C1234" even though C is just a reset button that puts all the pins back into place so a code can be entered. It's easier to tell people its C1234 than saying it's 1234, but press C first.
Or better yet:
"It's 1234. If that doesn't work, press C then 1234."
Is that better? I’ve had email replies fail to pick up the latter half of sentences. I wouldn’t trust it in physical instructions!
