Readable URLs are for whenever you write the link somewhere: I hate when I have to click to bit.ly/4/srkue4oiu, or youtube.com/watch?v=e498hRSUvf, and I have no clues about its contents.

And I read much more the URL than the page title; I totally disagree with the approach "They are URLs, they are for browsers, I don't read them". I read them all the time.
