so far one of the most well done articles I have ever read on this topic.

The internet has matured in the last few years and many definitions that were built only on theoretic basis are no longer valid anymore, at the same time a real market with its own evidencies it has been consolidated, is the case of the three letters domains that you have perfectly outlined in your article.
Before yahoo and google the only way to search was thru specific directories, from that comes that the most generic= the best, today this is not necesarely true anymore, just because google.
Also to consider that, at the beginning, the people who started the industry had the full control over any name and they retained all those names that had the higher market potential,million dollars where spent in marketing researches and projection just for that, and guess? They made a fortune .

Only few good names were left free, just to give the impression of a free opportunity for all, (the so called gold times).

The statistics shows that the most succesfull and widely used names are those from wich is easy to understand what the site is about.

For istance (not real, since I don't have data on hand for that) usedcar may worth more than car, at least for those who are especifically searching for used cars
(and assuming car only treat new cars) specialization is the keyword, niche market sites are proving a costant growth from years.

Considering exceptions is a great quality for professional appraiser , is the case of the hypens.
Approssimative appraisers just give a penality because an hypen but I have personally found cases where an hyphen is mandatory, unless to transform a name into a ridicolous or even obscene expression....with irreparable damage to the identity .

I am convinced that time to update the appraisal methodology has come, since actually it doesn't match the reality and the actual system tend to disappoint the operators, while give not a real advantage to the buyers too and definitively to the market, except just to those who sell such questionable services...

The job you have done it is in that sense a milestone.

(I am personally involved in a project to define a new appraisal method )

Complimets.

Often appraisals are Biased by Emotion not Practical Reasons

dot com has become universal because it's been used for so many things. However, the one thing that .com is typically not used for is nonprofit organizations. They usually do use .org.
