What you don't get that this is not about definition of expousre but getting the 
exposure you want with precision and consistency.
It is about photography.  I assign part of the scene to the tonalities I want on the 
film and nail it within 1/3 of a stop.

It somehow doens't surprise me that your definition of correct exposure is whatever 
the camera gives you. That explains why nailing exposure within 1/3s seems alien to 
you. 
My definition is the exposure I want before I press the shutter release. Thasts the 
difference beteen a snapshooter and a photographer.
