How is this confusing? Dipsticks have been used to check fluid levels for thousands of years. There are two marks. A maximum and a minimum. As long as the oil doesn't go below the bottom or above the top all is good. No you do not want way over the top but a couple of ounces are not going to cause any issue. You certainly never want to go below the bottom though because then a couple of ounces can cause issues. Running from the middle to the top hole is the best bet since you are not risking suddenly going below. This has been standard practice in cars since they hit the road and is not complex or confusing.
