I was once disagreeing with my high school history teacher when he hit me
with the question: "Okay, then what would *you* have done if you were
President when Pearl Harbor was bombed?"
I told him that if he was going to make me President, he should allow me to
run on my own platform, and be in office for a while first, hopefully
affecting world events, and perhaps avoiding the situation in the first
place. That left him a bit deflated...
So I'd say that your hypothetical (but all too familiar) question, even
though it is made humorously, requires a similar response: If I'm going to be
responsible for the color matching, then you need to empower me to determine
the workflow, and define what applications, what formats, what color systems,
what proofing software, and what profiling software I am going to use. Then
when you throw a job at me, I will *probably* be able to avoid a world war...
