One must think who the most likely person would be that would a) want access and b) try to break in... is it an anonymous hacker across the internet or a co-worker trying to sabotage? This is why "post-it noting passwords" is bad. Most computers/systems don't really have information that hackers want, other than to zombie a machine. This isn't to say we shouldn't worry about exposing our computers with quickly cracked passwords, we should protect all vectors into our systems but realize forcing strong need to "post-it note passwords" drastically increases the likelihood of an internal rat/mole.
