And, of course, there's always the elephant in the room. How many publications are actually read in quality lighting conditions, as opposed to the light of a cheap CFL at home or economy fluorescent tubes at the office? Not to mention, of course, all the strongly-colored objects (like clothes) we humans tend to surround ourselves with.
Consistent quality viewing conditions are an essential part of preserving one's sanity, but so is realizing that the only guarantee is that the end result out in the field /won't/ resemble the proof.
(Excepting, of course, those luxurious situations where you have full control over the entire chain. For example, I had some prints shown at the Tempe Public Library, and I was able to make a custom profile based off a spectrophotometer measurement of the actual gallery lighting. Amazingly enough, test prints showed that the gallery versions looked muddy in sunlight but great in the gallery lighting, and D50 versions were the exact opposite. Go figure....)
