Re-typing commands from SE answers without consulting a man is a bad idea even with long options. SE is a good place when you don't know where to start or which man to read, but once you see an answer it is better to check in mans/docs how suggested command would work and what it will do. But I agree that if you want to help someone who doesn't know particular command it is better to use long options.
