What people? If you are referring to the people I mentioned in my example who don't read the text next to the commands explaining what they do, that seems to be also the output tealdeer produces, so I don't know how it would help.

They're man pages that are significantly reduced and only include the common commands. People who copy paste, do so usually because the directions or manual are too long and it intimates their feeble minds.
