Yes, software we use should make smart suggestions based on our basic usage patterns, but not decisions. Good point.
Bernstein misunderstands Seth's calendar example: defaulting to PM when I select 2 o'clock is definitely not the same thing as changing my 2AM entry to 2PM automatically. In that straw man example, the "smart" feature is actually a bug.
What I took from Seth's post is not that software should be able to read our minds, but that opportunities to delight our users abound, especially in features/functions that we would consider trivial.
