When I flick my fingers up, I expect a smooth vertical movement of the view pane, exposing new content at the bottom. I can scroll fast and far if I want to scan for interesting content, and scroll backwards if I might have missed something. Every other web page does this, except this one. It subverts the conventional affordance of the scroll wheel / two-finger scroll.
The recent NYTimes article about ISIS in the Tigris and Euphrates rivers ( http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/07/03/world/middleeast/syria-iraq-isis-rogue-state-along-two-rivers.html http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/07/03/world/middleea... ) is a much better treatment of the scroll.
If I'm going to be subjected to lengthy animations between slides, I generally expect arrows left-and-right to click on.
The whole 'scroll to begin' language on an otherwise beautiful page is a usability smell. See http://www.harmoni.ca/blog/affordances http://www.harmoni.ca/blog/affordances
