The third one may need to be rephrased, but I think it should still
be there.  The intent is to make the reporter realize how unhelpful
their answers are when they answer the first two questions with

 - I expected it to work correctly
 - It did not work correctly

They hopefully would realize that "work correctly" needs to be
elaborated in order to answer the third question in a useful way.
If the first two questions have been answered in a usable way, the
third one is often redundant.
