my conjecture is that if a domain can be interpreted different ways.
the hyphen clarifies things.
eg. segment.com contains 'men' but you may be pitching a math site rather than a men's site.
whereas seg-men-t.com (stupid but just for examples' sake), it'd likely be indexed on first cut as a men's site, rather than 'segment'.
er, but i defer to the SEO gurus...
