To `useradd` or to `adduser`: that is the question:

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer

the slings and arrows of outrageous manpage,

or to take up `file` against the output of `which`,

and seek "Perl script text executable"?

You win HN for the day imo!
I concur, bravo! Someone should enshrine this comment somewhere. Sometimes I wish hacker news had a “best of”.
That would be fun. Someone clearly disagreed with me though, for I have one downvote now? Lol.
Hhhmm, I think but I can’t know for certain that it may be because comments that don’t contribute to the discussion are discouraged. So one may argue you could’ve just upvoted. Generally I agree with this approach, but sometimes people just deserve some verbal applause. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It does contribute though. I have to type ‘man’ every time I want to add a user to decide which. It’s a great lesson.
