You are of course correct.

As mentioned, the high level error correction in readcd can only help when the
drive does not include a decent Reed Solomon implementation in it's firmware.
What you could do is to check other sector ranges to find out whether the hole
capacity of the CD is unreadable or whether there are readable parts inside.
Note however that if you come close to the outer edge of the CD (1-2cm) the
error rate usually increases.
check the sectors= option in the man page...
