P.S., there was some discussion concerning the difference of human
genetics not being accounted for.I only mentioned it briefly and so far you're the first one to
actually exchange about it. (I've always found it weird that the
word "discussion" is used for something in which there are not
already two persons exchanging, but quite a few textbooks use it
like that, so...)
Oh Matju - you are so kind. Sometimes you remind me of Malvin from War

You need a Jim to keep you in line :) (said with love !!)
The older broadcast formats for NTSC/PAL and SECAM are not ...
final, per se. There are variants of all of these, and the YUV
components can vary quite differently depending on what version of
NTSC/PAL etc you want to use in what nation/geography.I don't think that most of the difference is in genetics of whole
populations. It might be plain statistical error due to the sample
size or the choice of the sample, or it could be the way to extract
a typical measure (mean vs median vs mode), or it could be an
instrumentation error (or just a choice in how it should be done, in
the case where it's not clear that only one way is not a mistake),
for example, filtering out high violet by using the wrong kind of
glass (it happened).
Well, either way, the values are different, and im sure different
methodologies produced the different results, but you cant deny that
quite a large difference in genetic stock was used :) Anyway, was more
of an offhand comment for those who may be reading. Thanks,
