I am going to agree with this statement 100%. Add in the aging baby boomer crowd with our eye sight dilemmas and hyphenated file names and size 14 fonts are a real blessing. I am one of these and like the use of this technique. At the bottom of the search results they show the URL path and this makes it far easier to read and decipher. This path when set up correctly tells a story in itself to the end user. Hats off to hyphenated file names and URL in general, used correctly of course.
Look at this example
http://www.crazybearlodge.net/kenai/lodge-interior.html . You can easily tell the topic of the page from the path.
