Values taken from the "screen" are completely meaningless other than how they cause that physical pixel to respond. sRGB is just an average representation for early '90s vintage CRT displays, which are hardly used any more. It is correct that if someone adjusts the image based on what they see on the screen then the pixels are in the "screen" profile. Otherwise the pixel values are essentially meaningless.
