You absolutely have because you are unwilling to provide an objective counter arguement.Legal team on standby0 -

I can't be bothered digging out the forms to provide the specific examples that you crave. I've completed both forms in the last eighteen months and the likelihood of a catastrophic mistake on the EHIC application is virtually nil. The passport one is more complex.
You cheerfully carry on talking up the joys of paying £35 for something you can get for free if you like. Not very MSE but perhaps provides a niche solution to the current situation with the official web site. I can't see it myself.0 -
Again, difficulty of the form is subjective, and irrelevant for the example being discussed. However, you openly concede my point in your second last sentence.Legal team on standby0

You don't have to travel without a EHIC.A very costly mistake would be to travel without a card and require medical treatment. That's the point of this thread, and my posts are consistent with money saving.
They are free and the application - as mentioned by more than one poster - is very simple and requires no checking.
"Consistent with money saving"?
When you think that paying £35 for something that is free is OK.....I don't think so.
I do think that even if MSE told you that the site you've mentioned is a shyster site you'd still try to defend it.0
