I don't suppose that I am saying that reflected would replace incident,
merely that your metering can be just as accurate with a spot meter as
with an incident meter. You are measuring the scene's light
differently and you can make gross errors either way. If you aim your
spot at the wrong part of the scene you will use the wrong exposure; if
you aim your incident meter at the wrong light you will make a mistake.
Therefore I contest your assertion that:

I think that they probably count ... ;-)
