Ah, but if you believe that the brand of lights affect color balance, then a 1/2 CTO isn't going to look the same on Brand A and Brand B. If you further argue that consistency is an issue with a particular brand that has sliders instead of a clicky dial, then the brand inconsistency will show up in the shot...I'm not sure what would equal that randomness in the kitchen...luck maybe?
