I wasn't able to comment on the "Colorsync's look up

ColorSync is an API set that allows ICC profiles, Mac OS publishing
applications, and Color Management Modules to work together.
ColorSync and ICM2 are not based on reflective or transmissive
values. Anything to do with that is the job of the ICC profiling
software and the profiles that software builds.
Maybe what your source has misunderstood is that the profile
connection space as defined by the ICC speaks of how a reflective
print looks in D50 illumination.
Again, it's back to Thurber's aunt putting plugs in empty electricity
