> Yeah, manpages feel like the equivalent of being served a book on a subject where I just want to know a quick incantation.

Because manpages are from a time when reading the manual was expected behavior, searching for a quick incantation more often than not results in learned helplessness because you don't actually learn anything, just the specific spell for the specific situation.
