He does have a point though. In type design, curves and points will usually extend out further then straight square edges to stop them looking like they have stopped just short. If you blow up some text large and draw a line on the baseline between an 'x' and rounded character like an 'o', the o will go slightly beyond the line. If it didn't, it would look too small to the eye. This is what you would call 'optically correct'. (Its the same for typefaces with pointy 'w's and stuff) The stem of the bottom of the 'r' in the logo is rounded, so that could make the straight edge of the 'l' look out of place to the human eye, even though that when you draw a line, they line up.
