Short Shifter refers to the length of the throw, NOT the length of the shift lever itself.

Exactly.

Some people just don't understand that point though. They think chopping the stalk is the same thing when it's not.

Chopping the stalk DOES shorten the throw . Shortening the stalk 2 inches shortens the throw by just over an inch. i'm throwing this in here for arguments sake based solely on the coments made above.

Makes for a leverage problem, right?
Longer shift lever, more leverage.
The short shift comes from different geometry at the linkage/cable attachment point (via length/shape,etc)
