And will if not coated reflect approximately 5% of the light hitting it's 
surface, a single coated piece of glass will reduce this reflection to 1-2%, 
SMC will reduce it to a mere 0.2%. You can test this by reflecting the sun off 
coated and uncoated filters towards a target under shade.

Your meter measures 1/3 stops so has not sufficient resolution to measure these 
differences. Just because your meter can't discern the difference doesn't mean 
that ghost images due to reflections from uncoated glass won't affect your 
images.
