I totally disagree with you - being against change means that you 
believe it is done the best way it could be done.
Although there is another way to solve this "problem" - manual can be 
changed to state in the first row "process status formated for terminal 
output" instead of "process status" which is now title for ps. That way 
it would be obvious at the first look that ps is tightly coupled with 
terminal it is running on and nobody would need to learn this harder way.

Regards,
Ivan
