Still disagree - when I see a mockup like that I assume it's all fake, including the user names. The surprising part isn't that the tweets are fake, but that the usernames are real.

I agree that my default assumption would be that all the data was made up. If I saw a handle and photo of someone I knew, though, I'd probably assume the rest of that tweet was genuine as well.
