I agree that not everyone will agree on this. Though I also see its uses too. Recently doing long subs on Carina nebula and incorporating short subs to capture the Homunculus is one example that I think works. Also you could do this with other high dynamic regions.

My general opinion based on my own experience is that shorter subs fail to overwhelm the noise and in particular with a sensor such as the KAF8300, although as your point out the right sensor should help in certain cameras.

Overall though I think these theories are very contentious and the astro imaging community can be quite split on which is better. For me HDR objects means using shorter subs to masked in to much longer subs. I would not advocate using short subs overall, but that is just my opinion.
