This minifig (from Duplo Toolo 2904)

 
Minifig No: 4555pb042  Name: Duplo Figure, Male Action Wheeler, White Legs, White Top with Racer Red Lightning Bolt and Lines, Red Helmet with Large Eyes
* 
4555pb042 Duplo Figure, Male Action Wheeler, White Legs, White Top with Racer Red Lightning Bolt and Lines, Red Helmet with Large Eyes
Minifigures: DUPLO: Action Wheelers

has no inventory. Can I safely assume that it is never intended (or hoped) to
be dis-assembled ? The head/helmet swilvels, and the head is printed behind the
helmet, but it seems to be permanently attached.

No duplo figures like that are meant to come apart, as they are for very small
kids - removable heads would be a choking hazard.

What do you want to edit?

Well that amused myself, I misread the reply and made a fool of myself, no change
there then.

Only edit button needed in this case was the one i’ve used to cancel message.

As Delboy would say :

“You plonker”.

That’s addressed to myself just in case anyone thinks otherwise.

Oh, I think I got it: you added a pause after “no,” making it “Wrong, parts like
this…” instead of “Zero parts like this…”

I misread it too, then stopped and thought "they're smarter than it sounds.
Is this a language or punctuation misunderstanding ?". It was, so then I got
it, and confirmed my original guess.

I also misread it, as though there were a comma after the determiner No,
making the needed “edit” as I saw it, the omitted adverb *not, as in
"not meant to come apart"

Interesting that several had that take, though. Seeing what’s not there, that
is. Different paths to roughly the same destination, or maybe it just illustrates
how we have an awful lot of preconceptions, seeing what we want or expect to
see

I remember the trick instruction ploy that is sometimes used by trainers.

The one that expects us to part read the instruction and because we want to answer
the questions as quick as possible, we plough on.

The one that tells you to answer as many questions as possible.
Only use black ink.
Numerous other instructions and the final line tells you to put your pen down
and do nothing.

Very few actually put the pen down immediately.

Just for clarity ...!
