Maybe rather than calling it "tortuously difficult", a better 
terminology would be to say that it scares people off.

I'd totally agree with that, and maybe it might help Jim understand your 
point.

A signup process asking for more than absolutely necessary (i.e. a valid 
e-mail address, an alias and a password) /is/ scary for some people - 
and yes, dealing with scary things /is/ difficult for some people. 
Sometimes to the extent that they rather suffer two more weeks of trying 
alone.
