I'd also send a big w00t to Korbus for quick turnaround time. As people have pointed out, though, "short" is not always true. "Simple path", however, would have much the same effect. "Simple" often means "short", implicitly, but it doesn't have to be. The whole idea of the alias is to make the URL "simpler" or "easier" to remember and type.

Thank you Morbus for insisting on semantic correctness. Thank you Kobus for doing field research... I find your results to be conclusive. I vote for "Short path".
I gotta be a dick. This is from a Real Life example:
http://www.site.com/node/34 http://www.site.com/why_drupal
The second is not "short" (or, rather, the implied "shorter"), but it is a far stronger URL than the first.
What follows is an upcoming example:

The same problem applies.
