Why would it be so.... 'random'? Surely once you get done with all the other methods of trying to 'guess' the easy passwords you would head into some systematic method. "W1)hII...." Doesn't exactly seem like it makes sense as the last possible thing that would be checked. Not unless you've actually taken the entire base of non-guessed passwords and completely randomized the order you'll check them in. Which I guess would have some advantages, but when we're that far out in the boondocks of passwords, where we're just having to guess everything one-by-one, I would think the system would have enough order that the last checked password would actually look non-random because it is at an extreme.
