And yet the point is moot because no one is going to use a password like "Av#12GH".

I have a password file here with several hundred passwords just like that (actually, they're all 12 chars with upper/lower case, digits, and "special chars", as chosen and stored by 1Password...)

Joe Public is unlikely to use passwords like that, but I'm 100% sure I'm not the only hackernews reader who does.
