But that doesn't mean a long URL like the one you quoted is bad. Just
that short ones are easier to type in (not that anyone does, nowadays).

I, for one, do. Or copy and paste about three times in order to use one
of those stunningly long URLs. Why? Because it's essentially impossible
to be even momentarily fooled by phishing emails or accidentally execute
a Trojan attachment in mutt. Similarly, I'm using a shell client for netnews. And a shell client for IRC. All of those tools isolate my
actual personal computers from the the machine in the rack in San Diego.

You actually type them in? Other than a few sites I regularly visit
(and go to the home page), I occasionally click on a link (after
validating where it's going) but most often copy/paste it. It's all in knowledge and being aware 100% of the time.
