Oh hi it’s me.
Archwiki and tldr are great, but man pages explain things adequately about 20% of the time.
Many of the Ms we’re supposed to R aren’t very well written, and we need to be open to explaining how things work in different ways if qe want others to take up with the things we like.
Man pages are the only reference material I know that has more information-free circular definition chains than Wikipedia. And I imagine that it’s for much the same reason; they’re primarily written and fought over by experts who only need terse reminder notes for themselves, and who can’t remember what it was like not spending every day up to their elbows in the subject.
