Furthermore, I think the point is not that Boz, by his choice of wording, "attempted to express" anything like the view Youssef gave; he did it without intending to! (Any decent reader knows not to trust an author to know themselves the significance of what they say!)
I think the basic point being made is valid. It might seem like splitting hairs to look closely at those three words, but the assumptions that Youssef argues lie behind them are (i would agree) borne out by the FB UX as a whole. I think the YoZuck blog has shown that he has thought hard about the issues. This opinion is not a case of over-reading, but something arrived at.
