It isn't clear what you see or what you want to argue about? cleaned_data is established when the form is validated and is deleted if the entire form does not pass validation (though I think there is a ticket open that asks for cleaned_data to stick around with the valid values that did pass validation, so that might change). There is no way to validate part of a form -- it is all-or-nothing. If you want to check for an error on a specific field, then check for the existence of that field's name in the errors dictionary after calling is_valid(). (You can also verify that you get the exact error message you are looking for, if you like.)
