I agree with you that the example is not the best, but obscurity has a lot of benefits. We did an experiment with a few students on obscuring a WordPress installation some years ago to catch ppl scanning for certain plugins. That gave us the ability to use the regular paths as honeypots. Gives you an ability to detect 0-day attacks as well.
