It was a humorous post, so he wasn't trying *too* hard to be accurate... The Epson gamut is considerably different in shape from the ColorMatch gamut, or Adobe RGB for that matter. The question is whether you want to fit ColorMatch almost entirely inside the Epson gamut, losing the areas in the Epson gamut tha ColorMatch misses (visualize a ColorMatch triangle fitting inside a roughly round Epson gamut; all the areas in the circle that are not also in the triangle are missed color opportunities) or do you wish to fit the Epson printer gamut inside the larger AdobeRGB space (picture the same rough circle, but with a bigger triange that almost encloses the entire circle; now you won't miss any printer colors, but you may have an occasional color that can't be printed accurately since its inside the AdobeRGB triangle, but outside the Epson printer gamut. People say "gee, thats no good there are colors in my space I can't print", but in fact these same colors were still in your original image and can't be printed from ColorMatch either, plus lots of other colors ColorMatch loses as well. The choice is to lose them one place or another, plus perhaps to lose many otheres needlessly. But unless you are dealing with very bright, properly handled original images, you will not see the difference, since it will have been lost already. C.
