manularity
[prob. fr. techspeak `granularity' + `manual']
n. 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 usually consider it
motivation enough to build another tool.
