The other tip-off, for me, is to compare it to how Neil says "for mankind." In the first iteration, "for a man," while the subtle "a" isn't really heard, there is an obvious fractional separation between the words. In the second iteration, "for mankind," there is no separation or even fractional pause between the closing "r" of "for" and the opening "m" of "mankind".
