I disagree with his conclusion, because I disagree with the assertion that copy/paste would be easier for his other example codes ("GETORGANIZED", "CLZTWEETZ".) To copy/paste from my email client, I have go to for the mouse to double-click or manually select a word, come back to the keyboard (obviously better than working through menus) to copy, and then head back to the mouse to navigate. That's more work right there than it would be for me to type getorganized into the form field later on.
Assuming I can remember the text, the break-even point when I would rather copy/paste is closer to 30 characters than 10.
I suspect that his users just weren't able to remember ITRYB4IBUY, because they saw it as a random collection of letters rather than a phrase. The author notes this explanation but seems needlessly dissatisfied with it.
