I think this misunderstanding arose from my bad pidgin english, I should
have stressed that 'only studless' phrase.

I've recently re-built my 8479 Barcode Truck - this is a 'traditional'
set and I can bet, that taking few first steps could make you an
universal platform (chassis) to put anything on it. And it's immediately
clear even for inexperienced builder what you do.
The building of the Backhoe was completely different, it was a puzzle
for me, still rotating the model around, using all those strange new
connectors etc. I can bet if you give Barcode/Backhoe to the child with
no previous Technic experience he could build from Barcode something
much more faster than from Backhoe.
Even one good reason for studded beams - one can mix them with other
kinds of Lego, studless are less flexible IMO.
