Seems like a very strong statement. I'm pretty happy that 'rm foo' doesn't say anything, and typically I find motion a distraction.

I know "interaction" and "interactive" are popular terms, but honestly we don't interact with our UIs any more than we interact with our homes. We manipulate the UI, but there is no "inter" as there is no agency in the interface. If you use facebook you're interacting with other people (perhaps) but otherwise you are manipulating the interface (explicitly by clicking on a link in order to view it, and implicitly by using that click to unwittingly signal some interest to the FB data collector).
