    That’s because the link is measuring the length of the info docs, not the man pages.

      A lot of info manuals are really extensive. I read a good chunk of the info manual for sed a while back and it is very thorough. It’s always annoying though when I go to check man for something quick and all you can get are texinfo pages. Luckily that isn’t too common anymore. I think GNU caught on that it was annoying.
