Depends on how you use it. For me, a checklist is a starting point -- an
outline of what I need to know about. For others, a checklist is a
labor-saving device. And some might use it both ways. In other words,
there's the thing, and there's the ways the thing can be used. Don't
confuse the two.
A very minor point, but one that obviously needed mentioning.
