The decision to skip the manual and learn the machine by pressing things until it works.

Manualskip is the default setting of every household and the reason the machine has four undiscovered modes. Discovery is accidental and celebrated; the manual remains in the manualreliquary, unopened, respectable. Years later the machine reveals a feature, and the household agrees it always had it, which the manual also claimed.

Etym. — manual + skip — the learning method of pressing first, reading never.

Rel. — manualreliquary · appmating

Novelty check: APPROVE
