I didn't mean to do a drive-by or cause any permanent damage!
I can see the blobs even on sRGB-like monitors, and the difference on
the prints is quite obvious. My experience has been that you can
learn to interpret what even an sRGB-like display is telling you, but
the blobs will get you every time!

I do not expect to recover.

Mind you, if you can only view sRGB on "yer average monitor", how can one
adjudicate in any way at all.
Look here, I don't give up that easily.

There are no immediate benefits because you cannot reproduce them on either
screen or paper.
I think you're wrong on two counts.
First, there's a significant range of colors that are reproducible on
inkjet, and to a somewhat lesser extent on press, that Adobe RGB
clips, in both the yellow-orange range and in darker greens.
Second, and much more important, if you clip the gamut on the raw
conversion, you turn what would otherwise be gradations into solid
blobs of color. They may look OK on the initial conversion, but they
jump out at you if you try any hue/sat tweaks post-conversion. I'm
not talking some esoteric "big color" concern here either-I see this
very often on foliage colors, particularly the darker ones.
If you maintain those gradations, you can control how they get mapped
into print space. If you turn them into blobs, they'll be blobs
forever.
