The original discussion is correct, but there may be other points worth considering:

- replacing product numbers with product names allows keywords to be introduced into the URL.

- Static URLs are always easier for humans to read, decipher and copy, with less chance of transpositions.

- Always avoid inclusion of session ids into URL

- Use a single URL for each page. Consistency makes it easier for everyone.

Sometime ago, Google introduced URL parameter handling tool which is quite effective when it comes to dynamic URLs.
