I think the article does a better job of explaining why you might want to use watch than man watch does.

  Really? What part of the article was more useful than the man page? diff the-article the-man-page | wc -w => 75

    Well then, I guess it must be the 75 words.

      The summary of those 75 words is "I want to watch for file changes but am too lazy to write a Perl script. Look at this. `man watch`" I guess we just disagree about what part of the post is useful.
