The help command was crafted in a two-step process, prioritising user ease and accessibility. Furthermore, executing the command to access its usage proves to be a straightforward step for users. Conversely, presenting an exhaustive list of commands in a single message output, while aiming to offer quick reference assistance, risks cluttering the interface. This approach inadvertently amplifies user inconvenience, potentially requiring them to navigate through a crowded interface to locate their desired command.

Reason for disagreement: Working as intended does not mean that the design is not flawed. There are better ways to implement this feature to circumvent the noted bug, such as help
providing the command reference list while help new
can provide the details of how to use the new
command. This feature implementation would in fact introduce inconvenience, especially to intermediate users who may simply need a reference but do not want to view the full details of a given command, as they would need to waste an extra input to return to the main console.
Users may want to view help as a quick reference and then quickly go back to inputting commands but this is not allowed and are instead required to enter further lines, erroneous or not to get back to the main console.
