So even if there is a problem of erroneous readings of something close
to zero, it would be indistinguishable from valid measurement...

Could I ask you to try to measure very dark grey (I tried using XYZ: 0.196480
0.200497 0.384248) instead. Maybe you would be able to reproduce the problem.
Please make at least 20 measurements before giving up :)

Also, could you make the same test but with full white and about 20
measurements? Does the result decrease, increase or stays more or less
the same?

The whole measurement takes about 19.5 seconds (tested with spotread
-yl).

So the error is 0.064 -> perfectly acceptable for me :) I was
referring to errors of about 0.200 when measuring a value of about
0.200 :).
