That argumentation is too simple. Means of self rated expertise from 1=beginner, 2=average user, to 3=expert (no one wants to be a beginner, but when do you become an expert?) grouped by ribbon vs. toolbar (semantic differential; first value agree totally with ribbons last with toolbar, all other between): 2.739712 2.800813 2.780000 2.757752 2.736434 2.738717 Of course there are some indicators that support your idea, like power user of writer (toolbars are preferred) vs. user of impress (ribbons have attraction).

But calculation and better presentation needs some time.
