How is that any different from the random character address? I can generate a random address and pretend to be another website and you won't know the difference because all you'll remember about the address is "a while bunch if random letters".

Yea, I guess a stupid computer user would probably fall for it either way, so I admit defeat on this front.
My argument was going to be along the lines of: "a stupid computer user who knows the real address starts with zlib would be tricked easier by another zlib address than if the real site were random, where they might check more thouroughly that they were on the right site..." before being fooled, anyways, probably.
