>"Internationalization" is 20 letters long, but it will be cracked in seconds by even a moderately sophisticated attacker. (zxcvbn gives it guesses_log10 of 4.34708)
Literally nothing to do with the article and an absurd choice for a password to make your (misguided) point. Length does trump complexity, however once again I'll repeat, the article doesn't say complexity doesn't matter. It does. It says it does.
Sorry my man, I think you missed the point of the article entirely. I also think your knowledge about how passwords are cracked in the wild is off base. Your theoretical thought experiment here isn't how it's done. Also the Dropbox password calculator you provided proves it. Every single character added to a decent password adds guesses_log10 assuming moderate complexity.
