I can certainly believe that. And, of course, the same sloppiness inevitably carries over to the production shots. The marketing materials certainly don't help...they make it seem like all you have to do is hang a ColorChecker off your model's neck for one shot and you've magically got perfect color for the entire shoot.
But, even if you start with a good capture of the chart...you're again limited (at least in practice, if not theory) to 24-patch original ColorChecker targets with no ability to supply custom measurements.
And did you ever figure out how to keep ACR (etc.) from applying a contrast-enhancing S-shaped tone curve? When I was still wasting my time with it, I had to hand-craft an offsetting curve in the DNG profile editor -- and it was murder doing iterative approximations. Never could get better than sorta close.
