Shouldn't matter, we're simply saying we're sending these particular
numbers to the device, in both the chart and the reference, and the
profiler shows us what the device does with them. 
So if I linearize to a different dot gain out, and reprofile for that,
the "preserve color numbers" should reflect that difference. Same as
if you had profiled to a different device or output method, yours vrs
mine, or SP 10% vrs SP 20%, etc..
Maybe the point is that if the DG is changed, reprofiling is necessary
as it's really now a different device.
Hope that makes sense.
