Yeah, this post is entirely correct.

A good example of the connotation of "认为" is "think" as in, "I thought you would have hired a better translator, IBM."

The nuance is different. It's "I think..." as in "My opinion is..." or "I reckon...". For that sentence you'd probably use 以为 instead, with the connotation of missed expectations.
