Seems like a pretty good list. I wonder if there is anything obvious missing?

  awk '{ print $1 }' "$HISTFILE"|sort|uniq -c|sort -rn|head -15
     4887 cd
     3699 ssh
     2461 man
     1987 ls
     1558 top
     1141 less
      981 su
      905 dc
      807 pwd
      779 while
      750 find
      601 apt-cache
      529 echo
      462 cat
      426 emacs
(The above list has been cleaned from my system-specific commands which would not be generally useful for others.)

Ah, of course. They forgot the most useful command of all, namely man.
