Oh yeah. There's some friction that needs to be addressed. No kidding :) However, we ALL suffer (more) from the pain(s) of not having good information, to say nothing of all the aggregate time wasted testing products because we have no other choice.
I think if there was (kinda sorta) a crowdsourced FAQ that might work. Kinda like you see on e-comm sites in that someone asks a question - aside from some boilerplate questions (e.g., your list) and others can answer. Spammy questions (and answers) can be down voted (a la HN).
