I disagree. There are many long passwords that are easier to remember than a short password. Just to make up an example, I might use "WakeGrindTampInfusePourSip" as a password--it's the sequence of actions that lead to my morning caffeine fix. Compare that to a password that must be between 6 and 12 characters, with one lowercase letter, one capital letter, one numeral, and no special characters. Nothing in my life maps readily onto that schema except for my AOL password from 1996, so I'm going to make something up on the spot, forget it immediately, and rely on the password reset functionality every time I want to log in.
