I've brought this up before. I went to go get an ISO, and was presented
with 50 questions about what I intended to do with it, and what type of
person I was. It's rediculous, regardless of the issue it is trying to
solve.
To keep the comparison going, lots of the phone mazes now have an option
like "Or just press '0' to speak to an operator". We need something
equivalent to that.
