More to the point, dwarves can now choose to pick a better ability instead of a ribbon, if they like. I fail to see how this is a problem.
That is sorta the problem though: It's not really a choice if option A does little to nothing and option B is invaluable to almost any character. Trap options are not actually options. They're traps.

I shouldn't have to choose to take something better. Just give me the ribbon and let me be pretty instead of asking me to compromise my integrity with it.
