It might not be an exhaustive list, but it certainly shows a way to circumvent a protection most people think is in place, when they chose "only friends can see my friends list".
In other words, the title is far from "very misleading". This is what that vulnerability allows.
On the other hand, publishing it could get you in trouble if you do it without the person's consent.
