I'm trying to find where the cut-off point might be.

Do you read the man page every time you use "ls"?

Do you read the man page every time you invoke the compiler for your favourite language?

If you use someone else's machine, do you read the man page for every command you type? The distro could be different, so you can't be sure it will be the same.

I suspect the answer here in each case is "no", so I'm curious as to where you draw the line. If you used a command yesterday, and the day before and the day before that, do you read the man page today?

Again, I suspect the answer is "no", but again, I'm curious as to where that line really is.
