On that note: The funny/sad thing to realise is that we are basing all this discussion on the fact that some users did not find the "Add" button *only the first time* they tried to do something. The realization is that this is one of those things (idioms[1][2]) that you learn once and know how to easily do the next 1000x times (like riding a bike).
The real problem appears when you are in those "next 1000x time" and you find it cumbersome to use (like riding a bike with no saddle, or with the saddle on backwards :) ). So in both cases (top or middle of the page) once you find it once, you will find it again, however in the middle of the page it conflicts too often with the Edit button and other page related actions, that it becomes cumbersome to use.
