    Could it be that in Charlie's system the distro somehow found it fitting
    to alias more to less?

    Nope. They're two separate binaries:

    $ which more
    /usr/bin/more
    $ which less
    /usr/bin/less
    $ ls -li /usr/bin/more /usr/bin/less
    1050498 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 198960 May 2 2024 /usr/bin/less
