Well, as I said earlier, the trouble here is that we don't know how well does
the password sample align with actual PIN distribution.

I'd say that I could use a password 1234 for a site I don't care at all but I
won't certainly use it as a PIN to protect the ATM card.

On the other hand the article is interesting and I'd say that If we strip the
marginal/obvious results that it can reflect the reality well.
