Just for the record, the entire address for the transaction is displayed on the screen, it just scrolls side to side. Generating another address that's similar enough to be confused easily would be prohibitively difficult at best.

Yes but the middle scrolls by pretty quickly. I once saw an article that did the math on the difficulty of making an address that matched on the easy-to-read parts of the address at beginning and end, and it amounted to less than a day's work on a modern PC. That's likely to work against most users.

It doesn't scroll quickly, it's very easy to read and verify, even for my beat up eyes.

I'd be very interested to see that math, because it's unlikely that's accurate. You can get a few characters at the beginning of the address relatively easily -- the rest is in heat death of the universe territory.
