The RTFMan responses are one of the worst things in Linux culture. Man pages are an exhaustive reference about what you can do with commands, that's true. But they are not written in a helpful way: you pretty much have to read it all every time in order to see what you need. If Google had the same attitude with their search, they would be satisfied with a query for "george bush" that returns the page of some random George Bush out there, you would have to add "US president" to get what you need.
