I hate the term manageable because it implies a lot of stuff that people take for granted. I have a manageable disease (not HIV), and one of my biggest (albeit fantasy) gripes is that for better or worse I cannot choose to opt out of society. I can't live on a desert island. I'll die if i'm ever a castaway regardless of how well packed the island is with coconut trees. More realistically it means that I can't be away from 'shipping range' for any more than a week or two before supplies dwindle and I meander back to society, having hit the extents of my leash. This sucks as a sailor. It's actually not manageable with the hobby of sailing long distances, forcing all sorts of compromises that turn the hobby into something different. So, when someone describes something as manageable, well, it's generic and leaves out so much context as to be worthwhile for only a small feel-good sound-bite. Maybe that person finds it manageable; it's not advice to be applied globally.
