    The two people I communicate with most on facebook were well near the bottom and they shared a ridiculous amount of friends and interests with me.

Nono that's the point of assimilation: the people with the highest scores would have the largest negative impact on your network, were they to fall away. If one of the friends that you share a lot of friends with were to unfriend you, you'd hardly notice because you share so many friends in common. So by that metric they're not that valuable to you.
