Very interesting, Sillert, V.I.
The link you posted was of a 200 hr pilot, on his first solo flight in a PA32 (fixed gear saratoga) coming back from Dieppe, who chose to land at an un-manned un-designated private strip in the uk (as his first port of call) and then tried to take off again from a runway with 302m useable, with a 1.6% upslope.
Quite a lot of this story seems to exist between the lines.
The PA32 that went through the hedge at Wycombe was a T-tail lance, that was overweight, possibly on an informal charter flight, and grossly miss-handled by the 200hr pilot, who attempted to rotate early, and then held it nose-high behind the drag-curve but unable to get out of ground effect, until it went through the hedge at the end of a 735m tarmac runway.
Sadly, these and a few other similar incidents seem to have a factor in common, which is less to do with the aircraft, and more to do with the profile of pilot flying it.
But I very much agree with the principle of what you're saying, which is that Saratoga's are not really short strip aircraft.
