I imagine they agree and aren't satisfied with the interface, but can't give it any more of their time. I take the impression they were more concerned about finding a novel and beautiful way to present statistics, and to transfer some of their passion for the subject to the reader, than creating a usable piece of software. (For instance, when they describe coming up with entirely different stories and casts of characters, repeatedly. Clearly the story is what is important about this project to them.)

Personally I've never made it past the first paragraph of a story without deleting it, so I salute them for shipping _something_.
