But accurate to what? A photo, life, OR what your painting needs.

When we're talking about accuracy of values, we're not talking about accuracy of values and service of the photograph or we're not even talking about accuracy of values in service of the way life looks. The only thing that's important is that we are using the accuracy of our values in service of our painting. We're designing the value masses to give us the maximum impact.
