manularity: /man`yoo-la'ri-tee/ n. [prob. fr. techspeak
`manual' + `granularity'] A notional measure of the manual labor
required for some task, particularly one of the sort that automation
is supposed to eliminate. "Composing English on paper has much
higher manularity than using a text editor, especially in the
revising stage." Hackers tend to consider manularity a symptom of
primitive methods; in fact, a true hacker confronted with an
apparent requirement to do a computing task by hand will
inevitably seize the opportunity to build another tool (see
toolsmith).
