I don't agree. A skillful tweaker may be able to make a single
test image look slightly better that what a good profiling package
can achieve, but they will only be playing with one "slice" of
the color space exposed by that image. As soon as you extend
the task to the full 3d colorspace (or even 4d space if you
want to tweak a "through black" profile), I doubt the task is
feasible in any reasonable amount of time. Multiply by media, modes,
number of machines and differing levels of skill, and the situation
soon gets out of control....
While I agree that it is dangerous and many times futile to try and
endlessely tweak a 3d color space to get the particular colors you are
looking at right (please read "many times", not "always") because at the
same you are pushing around other colors, this cannot be extrapolated to a
4d space as well. This is the great thing about a 4d space. You can adjust
only some colors (such as greys, for example) without affecting others. Now
where should that darn adjustment go in - CMY, CMYK, or K???
