> full of these UI "tricks" that remain undiscovered by 99% of users

What percentage of users can actually make useful decisions based on the advanced WiFi info? Here's a screenshot for example: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/227iup97ivdaurw/Screen%2...

I suspect it's around 1%, and most of those 1% already know about the hold option trick (which works on many menus). I agree with you it's frustrating how this useful information is obscured, but I also think this is a reasonable compromise for Apple as they try to balance power with usability and simplicity for the sake of the non-technical majority.
