Sorry, but experimental evidence trumps theory. That means that the theory is wrong. I have done the experiment and verified this. If you start with only one H2O2 molecules instead of two, you get a single oxygen atom. A single oxygen atom will react with another oxygen atom if one is there producing O2, but if it finds the silver first, it will react with two atoms of silver producing Ag2O.
Put some silver wire into a glass with just enough H2O2 to cover it. Leave a couple of days. Observe the silver oxide on the silver wire, and as the water evaporates, the silver oxide precipitate on the bottom of the glass. Pour a small amount of water into the glass and observe that this does not dissolve immediately. Then pour out the water, and pour in H2O2 and observe that the precipitate disappears immediately. Check the new solution with a laser and verify that it has a weak tyndall, meaning that the silver oxide has become silver particles. This is a very easy experiment to do. I have done this experiment twice with identical results both times.
