Does it seem that way to others as well?

Yes, it does. However, I can have prints made of the few good ones
from a 100 image shoot that same day, looking as I want them to look,
even if they were two stops underexposed.
I also find that images that look great in chimp, even with good
histograms, have highlights that can't be corrected. A limitation of
the dynamic range of the camera, I suppose. Another way of expressing
that is if you expose for the shadows, the highlight will be too
bright. So I expose for the highlights, and fix the shadows in post.
Much more data to work with down there.
