As usual, you're right on target.  What I should have said, probably,
is that they "could be useful for someone like me who might want
to try out a new paper/ink combo without investing the effort in 
building a profile, i.e., to see if it looks sufficiently interesting to
pursue"--recognizing, of course, that a not-very-good profile could
lead to a false result.  But then that's always true of short cuts.
