The problem with second guessing everything (such as the instrument accuracy near black), is that it's easy to end up with a very brittle system that misbehaves in mysterious ways. Pretty much a foundation on which color management operates, is to assume that the instrument is more accurate and reliable than the devices being measured. Now that doesn't mean that the instruments are perfect, just that they are assumed to be better than nothing at all. Trying to second guess the instrument without a firm theoretical and practical foundation on which to do so, is fraught with danger. Graeme Gill.
