I was on the LGM, on friday: it was very interesting :o)

Marti Maria (LittleCMS) said that sRGB covers 80% of the colors a human can 
see. I was very surprised, because sRGB covers only 30% of Lab colorspace 
(in area), and AdobeRGB98, 50%. I thought that Lab represents all colors a 
human can see. So, are sRGB/AdobeRGB98 cover nearly all colors, or not ? If 
not, what are the colors from real world which can't be represented ?
