From my point of view, he wasn&#x27;t saying it because it&#x27;s an extra character, but because <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com</a> is more cryptic and harder to understand than http:news.ycombinator.com.<p>That fits into my belief that more readable (move instead of mv) is better.
