I think your points are completely biased.

I'm going to rail against your attitude here, not you:

0. Appeal to authority.

1. Sounds like job security.

2. Footers are NOT useless. Menus are aggravating.

3. Analytics are 99% evil, 1% hot gas.

4. Stay out of my History.pushstate(). I don't need 50 things in my back stack just because your "page" couldn't fit on one screen.

5. Too many incorrect facts to address in one line.

6. It depends on what the definition of "is" is. No. Single cluttered pages are quantifiably easier to use than a dynamic page of unknown length. Is it ever going to stop?

7. It disorents me, and I'm a super-ultra-mega power user. Spinning a 3D model when the user scrolls down is downright unexpected behavior. It's a trick. A gimmick. A distraction. It's disorienting.

8. I don't want a choose-your-own-adventure. I want a damn single page with damn information on it.

9. I don't think that's a solution.

10. I don't care about "User Experience." I want "User Interface". "UX engineer" is just job title inflation for non-committal designers.

“Analytics are evil”? Seriously? How else do you propose understanding how people are interacting with your site? How can you A/B test improvements without analytics?
