manularity
     
        /man"yoo-la"ri-tee/ ("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}).
