I'm not being very clear at all it seems!
I AM talking black and white and i DO shoot 90 percent black and white.
I'm saying each type of cell sees colors differently as it translates it into a
brightness value.
A brightness value I'd think by nature is just bright: dark to light and that to
me means black and white.

Added to that babel is the way a certain film reads this info as each film has
it's own interpretation of what panchromatic means.
...might think green grass should be quite dark cancelling out a meter which
thinks green grass should be quite light.
Although red would more likely be more of an issue id' think.
