If you still don't see why this ain't a decent definition, then let me give you a cave example.
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.
I define that "the exposure that I want" is the exposure that a disposable camera that I will buy will give me when I press the shutter release. I buy it, shoot it and it will obviously perform according to what I defined, with 100% consistency and precision.
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.
I also get "the exposure that I want". Unless you're more explicit, that can be anything, so there's no method of sane arguing.
And, oh, just reffer to facts and stop assuming anything about my person.
cheers, caveman
