This is hilarious in modern context. So much documentation is effectively "what stack overflow has" that worrying about "man versus info" feels like a distraction.

I'd say a bit sad more than hilarious, sad for modern times I mean... you have an easily accessible, curated, well-thought and organized doc base where you could learn a lot more other than solving your little problem at hand, but you still resort to subpar answers on a qa website

But somebody has to write those Stackoverflow answers. Perhaps for those who do the distinction between man pages and info is important. Or do you think that the source of Stackoverflow answers is just more Stackoverflow answers? Now that would be hilarious.
