You make a good point, one that was considered when this was briefed. However, I felt there were sufficient checks in place to prevent us from attempting a TO with the flaps retracted. I (and most others I have flown with) check for and call "TOTO, Takeoff Config OK, Carrots (flex or full), Flaps, Fuel" when we are cleared onto the runway. As a reminder, I also rested my hand on the flap selector throughout the taxi. Then, there was b!tchin' bob to yell at us if we completely pooched things up. After considering these things, I decided not to object.When you're not used to putting the flaps down at that point, you can easily forget until you get a CONFIG FLAPS warning when you advance the thrust levers.
I doubt our Check Airmen would have signed off on the flaps not being extended for the deicing process and the taxi thereafter.
