Ok, now why do you think that this would address the other criticisms of such 
a table of contents? How would it remove (i) the need for scrolling through 
sections to find an answer; (ii) give an easy list of all the questions in a 
bulleted-style selection.

Whatever you might say, smaller headings does not remove any of those two 
points, so you might well go on suggesting that smaller headings (instead of 
fully phrased questions) solves one problem, but it doesn't solve the others. 

Note that the reason I'm mentioning this is because of what I've observed 
throughout the last few days. Never before had people suggested that they 
couldn't find a question on the page (after I'd pointed them to it). Yet they 
do now. This is not a definitive refutation, but it's hard to ignore the 
point and such a layout "out in the wild" with real-world testing (even if we 
ignore for the time the other problems). :)
