You might have meant to say you stand corrected.
While it is in the manual I can't recall ever hearing anyone follow the manual that strictly - just enough clear communication so that the players and your partner[s] know what you have and what will happen next. The rationale behind reporting in detail on the floor may have something to do with 'what if one of my partners has a different number and this is a multiple foul'... something that is routinely disregarded anyway.
