I agree that the description of baekdal's use case is pretty limited, and his math may be optimistic. OTOH this page seems to cast doubt on the idea that even comparatively simple passwords can be cracked in very short time periods, and more importantly that length is more important than complexity in any case:

On the other other hand, if passwords are so easy to crack, why use them at all? :)
