So what Curtis says is false? Then did he get this from?

"After an investigation into the problem by Facebook’s data team, they discovered that the new News Feed was performing too well. It was performing so well from a design standpoint that users no longer felt the need to browse areas outside of the News Feed as often, so they were spending less time on the site."

You're right. We should disregard a first hand account and instead believe second or third hand rumors.

Someone presenting speculation as fact ON THE INTERNET? Never. I'm being snarky, but it certainly seems that she's in a better position to know what facebooks data and reasoning were.

I'm just saying that he states it as a fact, like someone on the Facebook team had told him.
