Well, I am not sure straw man is the correct term, but I am not meaning to personally attack the designer. I was merely refuting the point that some are making that this is a brilliant design. And I am not sure claiming the UX analysis and usability questions are hallmarks of amateurs is a very compelling argument from you. It seems to me they should be the questions everyone is asking about this form. And there are clear design patterns in form design, even if they aren't the most effective, they exist and users are used to them.
