My point was that adding a character to something like "valve tangle hastens accept" is like adding a couple bits to something like "Av#12GH", and yet people feel like it's accomplishing something valuable. They feel that way because "Av#12GH" looks random, but "valve tangle hastens accept" doesn't.

Obviously the literal length of the string is not strictly relevant, and it was probably inarticulate of me to include that.
