Meow!
Mi'y'a thinks (Methinks, for Shakespeare lurkers), that there is 
so much absurd in longish deliberations about shutter inaccuracies,
that all this thread is worth whole lot than nothing.

Explanation:
Despite matrix meters and unbelievable CPU-s built into contemporary
cameras, we still have to use our own CPU, built between our ears and 
compensate 1,2 even 4 or more stops in each direction, according to
our experience. This is actually as precise as using woodworker's axe
compared to 0.1% shutter inaccuracies...
