Oh dear.... Jacob Neilsen - he of the unusable usability site....

I really wish people would stop listening to the junk that he's been
spouting over the years - life has moved on a lot since he made any kind of
sense.

If you want some justification on the usability side, read Jakob
Nielsen.  Firstly this one from earlier this year where he says "users
suffered a lot of needless interaction overhead when trying to select "Hong
Kong" from immense drop-downs containing hundreds of countries and
territories"  - and that's for a list of just hundreds not even thousands.

And way back in 2000, "Drop-Down Menus: Use Sparingly":
