In any other way do you like remembering and typing over 128bit
addresses?? :)

I don't see how you are going to communicate between
two hosts with a unbound IP. Especially in a ad-hoc
network where everything should be configured automatically.

Most OS's require a (unique) hostname to be entered/automatically
generated on install

False.

And is there any reasoned argument instead of the simple 'false'?
