Again, this is not strictly true. Meters are sometimes affected by flare, by
color temperature, by non-visible wavelengths, by "memory" effects, by
non-linearity, etc. Strictly and technically speaking, the opposite
contention might be closer to the truth, although most meters work well
enough for photographic purposes most of the time.
