I think that means that if HISTSIZE isn't set at all, then Bash will act
as though HISTSIZE had been set to 500.
If you have HISTSIZE set, then the default doesn't apply.
> $ grep HISTFILESIZE ~/.bashrc
> HISTFILESIZE=2000
That's HISTFILESIZE, not HISTSIZE. They are different variables, to control
different (albeit related) things.
However, skel.bashrc does also set HISTSIZE, to 1000. But that doesn't
make the manpage wrong. Ubuntu gives new users a HISTSIZE variable, but
it's still the case that a user who removes that will get a default size
of 500.
So I think this is invalid.
