Digital BW, The Print

Eric
Hi, I am reading a book on black and white photoshop and it says that if you to your color RGB file and just converted it to grayscale it would have preset values that photoshop assumes most people would like to see the photo print at. If this is so, than what stops it at the later conversion step if you do some of the channel mixing first?
