Yeah I hear ya.

Basically, anything anyone says is a mere model. Saying we think in graphs is...great... in as far as it helps us to use graphs as a model for thought. And it may help us get far, or help us accomplish someone else's agenda, but the way we think is much, much more than merely "in graphs." And people have been researching it for thousands of years.

True, there is much more to it. By "We" was referring to developers and product designers and by "thinking in graphs" I wasn't referring to a particular data structure rather that is more natural for people for grasp concepts based on association to other concepts and context.
