A manual page is a page in the manual.  We identify by a name and
section number.  In the printed manual, many manpages would be more
than a single page.  An electronic manual page, called a "man page"
is what we refer to, and is not an actual page.  Referring to it as
a single page in the manual, even if you give a reasonable way to
index it, is pretty silly.

Really?

No, I just wanted to be grumpy like everyone else.
