No Sir, Boeing has not dumbed down the checklist.
Unless, you are a Sim Instructor, TRI/TRE, the checklist are not a familiar read but for once , or twice a year. They have tried to make the reading of the checklist as simple as possible. Considering the errors I see, in the simulator, on a regular basis, it is understandable, Boeing has tried to make it simple.
Considering you background ( Auzzie), I understand your pious attitude.
Nuff said.
