Nice logical fallacy.

  It's not a logical fallacy. People complain about 2-column layout of timeline and 2+-column layout of this "new look", because they have too many columns to follow at the same time, while I have yet to see anyone complaining about 5+-column layout of Pinterest.

    It's also a logical fallacy to argue against "people" instead of bryanfryer, who said nothing of the sort.

    I believe it falls under the Association fallacy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_fallacy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_fallacy). The assumption is that because both designs share a common attribute they are both intended for the same purpose and therefore if one design is bad for a particular reason, the other design must also be bad for the exact same reason. This isn't necessarily true with Pinterest, which has a different purpose to Facebook, and therefore likely requires a different UI.
