No. Long passwords waste users time and are not necessary. If you actually read the article it explains why.

I did and refuted the statements with arguments.
Did I miss any? If yes, I'd like to know, as it is actually the equivalent of installing a Raspberry Pi on your front door to open it with a "secret knock". Any argument in favor of that should be easily refuted.

No, you didn't. The article states enforcing a password try limit ( IP specific, as I mentioned) would stop brute force attacks and thus save the user from requireing to memorise unwieldly long passwords. You have not refuted this at all.

I clearly stated that the length of the password is not only there to prevent brute-password attacks.

No offense. Just want to say this guy is the biggest lesson of why we should never hire a CEO who studied business or economies in tech company. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that he can't do a thing. There are definitely areas that he is good at. But being a CEO of company like Microsoft just makes him act like a fool.

How does an employer measure critical-thinking skills? You never know when that 20 is going to roll
|
|
|
|

In my experience (limited, biased and anecdotal), innovation is a function of diversity of input - so if I were a company looking to increase "critical thinking" I'd look at the hiring issues that were causing my company to be a monoculture.
..but I guess that's not the critical thinking they are looking for

I call horse manure on that! 
While most people say they would like to hire more "innovative creative thinker", it is rarely the truth. As innovative creative thinker don't sit well with the "consistency culture"!
As a simple example, if people can't cope with just a simple change of bracketing style (how many useless web page and blog topic one can dig about such a worthless subject hey?!) it's easy to imagine the never ending uphill battle against tinkering the tinkerer faces daily!

Indeed, or an "innovative creative thinker" who is a yes-man and won't rock the boat.

Hahaha!! Exactly, you nailed it!

Yes! That is exactly the creativity we need: to be able to say "Yes!" to every ... in many creative ways flattering the creator of that ...

I would also point out that a company in industry X isn't going to get fresh ideas by only hiring candidates with extensive experience of X.

Comets may be deep-frozen fossils that could provide clues as to the earliest days of the Solar System, but what does one smell like? Because you know - deep down - you've always wondered what comets smell like

So - it "smells" like things which are organic? The exogenesis guys are probably a bit excited by that.

Yeah, I'm sure they'll pop up again on this. I still don't think that theory is necessary though - although this does show just how easy it is to generate some of those compounds.

This post explains some of our plans for evolving our architecture and design tools in Visual Studio, including new capabilities and changes to existing capabilities that we will be delivering in the next major release and subsequent updates.
