Hi, I'm not sure what point you're making here. Make the perceptual
colorspace non-linear enough, and the geometric assumptions break down.
That's the nature of things. (ie. the -N5.5 failed in your particular case.
It won't necessarily fail there in other cases :- it could fail at lower
or higher values. I have no way of predicting this. If you have some way
of predicting this, then you should be writing scholarly articles on
non-Euclidean geometry :-)
