There are two concepts here: 'manipulate' and 'detriment'. In order to excite the attention of the act and these provisions, first of all, the behaviour must manipulate and, secondly, it must do harm. It's not right to conflate those two propositions. It's 'gate 1, gate 2' in order to come under the scope of these provisions.
