Devoted vs. addicted: I think they mean in the context of "Addicted to games" or "addicted to bacon" in a casual sense. Of course, they fail to even try to add context. As many have pointed out, this list is more about control over thought than over actually helping anyone.

Committed vs. died by suicide: It's the association with "committing" an act as something negative. You commit a crime, you don't commit an achievement. Again, it's a stretch and a waste of time. Whoever wrote this needs to go make sandwiches for the homeless for a while.
