More blur (so smoother backgrounds), yes of course. But still the quality of the bokeh is something different than the amount of blur..[/quote]
Absolutely... but like I said in my relative framing example... we shoot fast lenses at wide apertures. So even if the bokeh of that lens at equal apertures is worse than that of a slower lens, we can use the fast aperture to blur more and hence smoothen things out. Btw, by bokeh I'm not referring to just the OOF highlights.

and creamy is about the quality of the blur, not the blur itself. Don't you agree?

Yes... but keeping OOF highlights aside, more blur often results in smoother OOF areas.
