My entire argument was that I thought we were talking about a manual

Required manuals? Why does that bring to mind, "Oh! Then engine is on
fire. I'd better break out the manual!"

There are certain charts that might be useful in flight, but for the
most part I don't care to wait to read the manual until I need it.
The manual should be safe at home, and any necessary lookup tables
printed.

Except that FAR 91.9(b) begs to differ.
