Well, yes, with, saturated bars. However, for each
sort of physical color primary set (i.e. for each type
of display) a special set of bars can be made so that
the filter comparison method works.

That's correct ... the green should be and is
oversaturated, and yellows should look a teensy bit
greenish. This actually happens. You can, of course,
adjust the tint to make skin tones correct if you
wish.
But skin is red enough not to matter.
But on my set, which came with a horrendous red
push, if is plenty good enough just to remove the red
push and then use the "Joe Kane" method. Theoretically
you should replace the red push with a green cut to
counteract the over-saturated primaries. I think this
is possible with my set.

I think you are correct.
