Really?  

$ env |grep MORE
MORE=-+E

That means I can press 'G' while viewing a man page and scroll back,
instead of being dumped back at the prompt.  The variable is not
documented on the man page.  I found it in the source code, reasoning that
something had to make more(1) differ from less(1), even though they're the
same inode.  

How is that foolish?
