I agree with the general intention of the post.

> Natural language is an unnatural interface

However, I think the title is misleading. Maybe I am too much of a technical person and take interface too broadly. But natural language is probably the most natural interface as humans learn this really early and use it every day.

Also, the word "natural" may not be suitable for this discussion. Maybe the author has this in mind already but I think we should rather talk about intuitive, efficient, motivating, … interfaces.

In general, I guess HCI is not about natural but rather useful.
