No I'm not granting an app with no details on how it works from random strangers access to my FB

Also I think you misunderstand how some people use facebook. I use it as a long memory, address book, and passive way to keep in touch with a wide crowd. It's value is in that when I met people I can just add them and forget about it until even years down the road I might be like "oh I know a person" and then have easy access to get in touch with them (and even passively gotten to know a bit about them)

I hate that. Meeting me somewhere years ago doesn't grant you permission to ask me for favors if you've never talked to me in the mean time.

I can infer from that that I get presented with a choice, but it's not clear (especially on the main go page which is the scariest) that if I click that button it won't just start deleting my friends. You need to make it insanely clear that I'll be presented with a list and I get final say. You are just a recommendation engine, you won't take action.
