Yes, it's too bad that the Canon flashes don't use the lens distance calculations. They could work on a simple internally calculated aperture based on the guide number. Then you wouldn't have to worry about the reflectivity of your subject at all.
This comes up from time to time, but I'm not entirely sure about it, to be honest. Distance calculations work great if you're pointing the flash head straight on, but aren't of much value if you're shooting in bounce flash mode. And frankly I'd much rather bounce flash if I can.
