People often seem to confuse "different" with "worse." I wonder why this is. Circles are also "simple to reason about" – i.e., everyone in the circle gets the post. It's just different from Facebook in that circles are asynchronous, so it feels a bit foreign. Different, not worse. It's arguably better since it also supports Twitter-style following with a single, unified mechanism.
I get your point, but I think that's simple too: you received the post because it was sent to you. Or in Google's vocabulary: because you were in the circle it was shared with. I can agree though, that this slightly more confusing than the Facebook model: because your friend posted it.
I really like the idea of suggesting Google+ "celebrities" to follow; you should suggest it with the feedback tool. I recommend Tom. :)
