From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   manularity /man`yoo-la'ri-tee/ n.   [prob. fr. techspeak
   `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}).
