Tell me aftter many more decades and I may believe it. When computer
screen is no more alike print media.

Where do you see grouping all the sudden? Manaula pages are not
primarily used to learn things, they are used as reference. Just like
Book indexes.

I haven't seed anyone for 10's of years who would have read full manaul
page from top to botton; every single line at one stop.

They come and go, come and go to read it. Learn bit by bit. And there is
the strenght od proper indexing, the alphabetical.
