Can a longer straight beat a shorter straight?

The rulebook gives the eight-card example; players confirm it.

No — a straight is beaten only by a straight of exactly the same length with a higher top card, for example 3-4-5-6-7 beats 2-3-4-5-6. A longer run does not beat a shorter one, and only a bomb can answer with a different size.
