In my view yes.

I don't know where the "just scaling" thing comes from in the first place. It
doesn't appear to have a Color Science foundation (I'd be more than happy if
someone can point me to some justification in the color science
literature).

One could make a case that it's some sort of special case of
chromatic adaptation, where the established research results
don't apply, but I think the onus is on such a claim to show
why this is so.

[ My suspicion would be that it is based on a print shop "rule of thumb"
  or shortcut. It's certainly more normal to do similar maths when specifying
  "media included" or "media excluded" densities or XYZ values. ]
