I think the blog post was basically speaking in favor of the charity principle.

I don't think I agree on that one.

The article isn't about choosing the reinterpret the other person's statements in a more favourable light.

It's about not sweating the small stuff and not drawing attention your way and letting somebody else have fun without ruining it with detail that, in this social situation is not actually necessary.
