Absolutely disagree. Think about the reason to add such help text in the first
place. Newbies get at least a hint of what needs to be done, instead of
(incorrectly) thinking that cell protection is enough. The text is consistent
with _all_ UI variants

The menu is not always shown for every user, whichever UI is being used, even
in standard – exactly the same as having to open some dialogue that is not
already automatically opened, or having to go to some official help document to
find further info.

This report is about a user mistaking a menu with a toolbar, in whichever UI
variant. Such confusion can happen to anyone, newbie or experienced user, any
day of the week. If at least the UI was consistently editable (which is _not_),
then the discussion would be worth something.

I am absolutely completely against changing nor deleting this help text.
Experience has to count for something. You learn with this text, the first time
you read it, or as a reminder. Then, in future cases, you know what to do.

Let's do no harm.
