Yes it would, and probably quite confusing as well :)

It is a very good idea (presumably inspired by the images at [1]?),
however I feel it would have to be fairly heavily framed to avoid
users getting confused ("Why is my computer on twice"? is a question I
don't really want to get asked).

That said, if a link to something like that could be added to the Help
main page (and perhaps emphasized), then I think it would make a great
resource.

Cheers,
Evan
