Could not agree more. I think the (largely unspecified) studies
that Travis uses to suggest to the OP that he might well abandon
or modify his designs and look to fancier templates needs to be
taken with a big dose of salt, as are many market research
projects. When someone goes to a site with a problem about a
washing machine, I would likely bet quids against the conclusions
of web based stats (mind you, I would need to see them and know
how they based their samples, their methodology etc and no, I am
not going to research this matter, it is extremely complicated in
fact).
