Unfortunately, it seems that some of our instructions in this Challenge are Wrong. (Shocking, I know.)
But before you begin, here are the three things you can count on as completely guaranteed:
First - In each Phase, something about the instructions will be Wrong.
Any part of the instructions could be Wrong.
So perhaps Direction 1 is Wrong. Or Direction 2. Et cetera.
Or perhaps more than one part of the instructions is Wrong, like both Directions 1 and 2.
Second - Each combination of Wrong Directions will only appear once, and never repeat again.
So if in Phase 1, the first two Directions were Wrong, and only the third one was correct.
Then you would know for certain that this exact combination (Direction 1 Wrong, Direction 2 Wrong, Direction 3 correct) would never occur again.
Third - Any Wrong parts of the instructions should be skipped entirely.
So if only Direction 2 is Wrong. Then you simply need to take the starting phrase and follow Direction 1, then Direction 3.
All the instructions which are correct should be followed and applied in their normal order.
If you want examples of how this all works... then look at the Challenge explanation again.
Specifically the part about what Triggers you would end up with, if you failed to apply different parts of the example instructions.
For your first starting phrase and Directions, open this spoiler tag:

For your first starting phrase and Directions, open this spoiler tag:
For Stage 1, start with: "What are these... benetted baps?"
Then:
1. Add an A after every original word.
So 'EXAMPLE' would become: 'EXAMPLEA'.
2. Delete all double letters.
So 'HAPPY' would become: 'HAY'.
3. Change every fourth letter to the one which comes before it in the alphabet.
So 'EXAMPLES' would become: 'EXALPLER'.
