   I would not expect anyone to *not* know that help output is
   abridged.  But I would rather have them go straight into 'info'
   than wasting time on 'man', only to be redirected to 'info'.

   Usually one looks at the '--help' output first. If we redirect on
   'man', why not there?

Because man pages are secondary on GNU systems, the offical spot has
always been info.  The redirection is only for convience for old
timers who still use man.
