I don't think that logic holds; I can comment on something, or provide a link to it, because I hate it.

True, but if you take "like" to mean "validate," then that logic does hold -- even if you hate an article you're sharing, you're still validating it.

Like does not mean validate though.
You may as well say if friend means totally random person you've only met once. Oh, wait...

The reality of what "like" represents indicates otherwise.
