I agree.  

However, to measure this, I suggest we count "contributions"
as we do for IPR purposes:

  c. "IETF Contribution": any submission to the IETF intended by the
     Contributor for publication as all or part of an Internet-Draft or
     RFC (except for RFC Editor Contributions described below) and any
     statement made within the context of an IETF activity.  Such
     statements include oral statements in IETF sessions, as well as
     written and electronic communications made at any time or place,
     which are addressed to:


While it would be difficult to measure this quantitatively, I would assume 
everyone attending an IETF meeting has said something at the meeting (in a 
session, or in the hall, etc.) that could be construed as a contribution, so I 
would think this brings us back to the raw attendance data.
