Why would one need a 1:1 of that? There are only two sizes of wooden dowels included, and the illustration with the bigger one crossed out pretty clearly indicates that the smaller one should be used here. So what would be the additional benefit of a 1:1 illustration?

That's the example I had in mind because I built a MALM bed last month. I remember models with many more screws. The 1:1 print just makes it easier to differentiate, without having to pull all the different screws from the bag, trying to compare them to the not 1:1 drawings.
