One reason is that I often don't know if the program I want to run
(git or something sles) uses -v as the "verbose" flag, or if it's the
"version" flag or something else.  But if there is a --verbose flag, I
can be sure what it is, so I often try that first if I'm unsure.  If
that faild, I'll probably look in the man page.
