Or perhaps the interfering thought was something like: "The person who can least imagine it is Mark Zuckerberg."

This evening on "All Things Considered":

"A world without Facebook *is* hard to imagine, least of all for Mark
Zuckerberg, the site's founder."

That should be "most of all."  What's especially odd is that the writer
could have picked "especially" if he'd had any doubt.

SWAG: interference from "at least for."  Still weird though.
