     I think it is you that is missing point I suggest you consider using.
    Instead of trying to beat people into submission, with your technical explanations.
    Make it relevant for the end user. Make it easier for them to understand why they should not use passwords longer than the website is designed to handle.

    Hence: You may then experience login failures etc.

    I think our discussion on this subject has run its course.

    The only problem is that you are spreading disinformation about password strength. People that aren't setting these huge passwords shouldn't feel that they are any way less secure.
