Use the first 16 characters or ID when exporting key to clipboard? #36

In:

# We can then use `export` with the `-q` or query flag to match on our key (the first 16 characters should do..) 
$ keybase pgp export -q CB86A866E870EE00 | pbcopy # copy public key to clipboard

Should it be the first 16 characters or the ID? Even though the ID is 16 characters the wording was confusing for me and maybe for others?
