Search engines will lead people to your website. So people assume that if they can make their website comfortable for search engines, the search engines will prefer their site over others (higher ranking).
Imho: The better search engine algorithms try to imitate human behaviour and determine ranking based on the outcome of these tests... So in theory, if your website is optimised for humans (HO), your site will be a good SEO site.

I don't know much humans that pass example.com/here-comes-something by mouth... At best they simply shout: Visit me at example.com... As soon as the scheme becomes more difficult they will send you a link (and who cares that it's in ?x=y&k=l&m=n or /x_y_l_m form anyway?)
As it has always been: Focus on valuable content. Humans and search engines will outmagically find you (that's their sole reason of existence) and keep finding you... (Are there really people that search for <span style='color:red;text-decoration:blink' title='Alert a moderator!'>grilled spam</span> and that buy it online? Despite all the SE trickery, which is the first link?
