  My unscientific sample of two said "it'd give
you a bigger version"
  when I asked them what they thought it meant. It looks a lot like the
  magnifier on Adobe Acrobat. 

I stress again that we need a proper professional human factors expert
 on the case. Is there anyone reading this who counts as such, who
 could tell us the right questions to ask? Then all interested parties
 can run this right set of questions past people they know!
