But...but...

Since the acronyms are essentially 
mnemonic devices, wouldn't shortest 
be just as good, if not better, a 
goal to shoot for as longest?  That 
is, if all other aspects (cleverest, 
funniest, covers the most important 
points of theory, etc.) are equal?  
What's the point of acronyms that 
people can't remember without the 
aid of more acronyms?  <g>

Y'know, IIRC, there's one wordplay 
that JKR hasn't engaged in yet: 
palindromes.  How's THAT for one 
helluva challenge for all ye 
Architects of Acronyms?
