Your point is a good one.
What's the point of an aero frame if the lump of meat sat atop it isn't flexible enough for at least some approximation of a flat back?
The owner could have spent the same massive pile of cash on a custom frame that suits his/her riding style.

I love the armchair assessments of riders fit when we haven't seen them on the bike... The big pile of cash is theirs to spend. If they have built their dream bike then its great, encourages them to put the miles in and is a joy to ride.
Lever angle is very personal. Some pros have them very tilted up and some have flat transitions (which looks better in this thread) but if it works for the rider then its fine. It may be the traditional curve on the bars that make it look a bit odd... doesn't wiggo run elevated bars in a tt to achieve a flat back position that suits him versus some killer saddle to bar drops?
