  I do not need to do that.  I don't convince people.

  The purpose of "man" is to present a changed format(ting) of its
input file.

  The input file does not need to be pretty, just practical, easy
(easier) to maintain, and have fewer and milder consequences when
changed.

> Can you convince me they do not?

  I do not convince people; it is theirs to convince themself, not to
be convinced by other people.
