Passwords are hashed in an attempt to conceal them.

Websites are served in an attempt to disseminate them.

There's a big difference here.

I wasn't saying passwords and websites are the same (I'm not even sure what that means) but was pointing out that saying it's fine to throw random stuff at a webserver would mean that it's fine to repeatedly throw user/pass combinations at a webserver.
