I don't understand this. Why is it so hard to give someone the benefit of the doubt? The whole piece boils down to that. And it's very useful advice for arrogant computer dweebs. You can't just write people off like that successfully. And you certainly can't do it because 100 out of N misdirected users of one of the most popular sites on the internet don't have the correct mental model for what's going on or complete confidence in that model.

"100 out of N misdirected users" Good point....I agree with the idea that whoever got confused by that article is stupid (I mean, if you can't figure out you are reading an article, then is the state of stupid even possible), but it was a fairly small sample of people, considering how many people log in to facebook per minute. But then, I guess we're back to the question of why they navigate to facebook via google....sigh.
