I tend to disagree.

That doesn't make much sense, IMO. Most of the time it's
easy to stick to the recommended 70. More often than not,
it even helps to nudge oneself into structuring code
better.
But sometimes (e.g. you have long string literals where
breaks don't make sense -- but there are other examples),
it is rather counterproductive to stick religiously to
that rule.
Honestly, I perceive Stefan's criteria as pretty natural.
