Why has he used the Zeiss 120/4 Macro for this test?
This macro lens.....which I have for my Hasselblad is a true macro lens and
are not the
best lens to use at distances close to infinity.

It might be more accurate to refer to a lens of this type as a
"restricted" macro lens, since it only works optimally over a modest
magnification range. Slow double Gauss lenses of this sort respond
extremely well to the technique of moving the front and rear groups at
different rates during focusing, and I'm surprised that Zeiss chose
not to do this.
