This might be getting a touch too delicate for me. 
My concern is that i would like to think that me and my clients are 
seeing roughly "the same thing" when they look at my files...
I think that I can instinctively grasp the concept of color vision and 
lightness versus brightness but how does this come into play when using 
a calibration gear with a software only allowing you to set your own 
black and white point in candela unit? Plus again, how does all this 
relate to your display adjustment knobs?
