Heh, but here it actually becomes longer than yours!

But more clear, was the thought.

So if that's indeed so, that means one should do it, since the
penalty for being long (or, if you'd like, the gain from being
short) is approaching zero to the point (but not to the acutal
point actually) where it is infinitely small :)
