True. I thought we all were in agreement by then g2.2 does not map as well
to sRGB as AdobeRGB, I was interested in exploring the bit depth/dither

Another point is if you do your conversion last, so that you will not be
applying a tortuous tonal adjustment after conversion, dither, or not, will
likely make no difference.

And with that, I'm outta here. ;-)
