Any time Jeremy says, "it's ok to not care about what the colors mean", it's fine by me to take his advice. It's also fairly safe to assume linear response with Rec709 color primaries, 99% that's what people will want anyway, and the other .9% will be too close to detect any difference between that and the "right" answer.
