Re^13: Request for an update to: What shortcuts can I use for linking to other information? (default OS)

Never felt otherwise. Even tho it likely appeared so.

I only make one exception; given that BSD follows POSIX, and is often considered POSIX. Linux, only has some POSIX.

Summary:
They are called "UNIX man pages"
UNIX, and BSD are both POSIX systems.
In the end, the user should be aware of the differences between them.
In all cases, the "linker" should verify that the man page choice they made, actually returns a man page. -- which I think, speaks to your point.

Note also; this is not an attempt to argue against your position, in any way. Only a justification to my related assertions. :)

EDIT: I'd like to add; That I'm in complete agreement with tye's assertion earlier. My posted objection was intended to be "tongue-in-cheek".
