I agree.
But -as I've just read now- there are two exceptions:
1st:
- You want to print your pictures out at home with a good printer that supports 
AdobeRGB and it is calibrated! However...I still don't know how to adjust the 
picture on screen that is sRGB! Maybe you change something, and you try to print 
it out..and if you don't like it, you adjust again, and print again :)
2nd:
- You have an Eizo CG220 Graphic Screen, that produces that AdobeRGB...which is 
around 4000 Euro (4900$) in Hungary :D
