Classic case is that by the time I first used Unix in 1983 or so, I
thought it was pretty odd that it didn't have a "rename" file command. 
I tried to man everything I had come across in the other 5 or so OS's I
had used in school.  I even read Rob Pike's book cover to cover and was
still perplexed.  It's just not going to jump out you to do "man mv"
even if you know how to use man.
