Cryptic is in the eye of the beholder. Consider a voice-communications
system which required you to type in 7 to 10 digit strings to
establish virtual circuits! AT&T has done fairly well with this
design, and it's not obvious that any change would be for the better.

The most amazing part of any technology are the people who use it,
be careful when playing armchair psychologist.
