It is hardly angel-counting or hair-splitting to show that the
following statements are false:

ES> "Software mediated social environment" is a "software that
ES> mediates between people"

ES> Joel is using the term "social interface" as an abbreviation of
ES> "interface for a software mediated social environment"

Precision reflects the depth of comprehension. Better precision helps
to avoid misunderstandings being formed or spread.
