> what sort of test would break on parsing the output of man with no page specified? I'm honestly curious on this one

  An infrastructure test that ensures man built and installed correctly.

    Who the heck tests every single one of their dependencies? Maybe like fighter jets or something I guess.

  This question I take to the grave. I understand it derails the point of the exchange, but I cannot fathom how this could be a legitimate use case. I'm not saying it's not, quite the opposite, I'm sure it was, but my curiosity has been piqued and for no reason whatsoever I must know. It reminds me of the Married with Children episode where AL has a piece of a chorus of a song he remembered and it drove him insane until he remembered. It was hm hm himmmm and the song was I Will Follow Him, I believe. I felt that, I had read a book as a child and it fascinated me and started my lifelong obsession with books. I could remember parts of the book, but search engines sucked for many years. I don't remember when but at some point google crawl bot scraped the synopsis of the book-it was a Forgotten Realms book 'The Night Parade'. Incidentally it was very little like I had remembered but I still loved re-reading it. Anyway, hopefully that will happen with this question one day. I'll remember it, search it, and maybe find the answer.
