The problem is if you have a communications or transponder problem then
you must turn around and leave the ADIZ on the most direct route out and
away from the center.

Depending upon the circumstances of the failure (ie. a complete electrical
failure in IMC but still near an airport), departing an airport's area
would compound the problem. I don't know the circumstances of this pilot's
difficulty or response, but I could easily see following the aforementioned
rule being the wrong choice in at least some cases.

That is a perspective I've yet to notice: the ADIZ is unsafe.
