Are these findings based on actual statistics or from your own experiences?
It's easily demonstrable using a heatmap, these figures are averages and there have been studies which dispute these figures, for example Cornell University did a study back in 2005 I think it was that showed 50% clicking positions 1, then a drop off , then a rise again at the bottom of the page.

The point is, that you should aim for Google number #1 position where possible for your keywords as there is not too much glory in number 2 - 10.
