This reminds me of another setting.  Exposure compensation.

I usually put this at -.3 EV to afford myself a little headroom to make 
sure the highlights don't get blown.  Some people will even go to -.7 
routinely.

While it's good to compensate on the side of under-exposure, getting the 
exposure right preserves the right balance in those middle values.  No free 
lunch.
