Inaccurate white points in profiles are the things that fists of hair being pulled out are made of.

Hardly a concern because the profiling process automatically takes care of this. Improper use of the profile, however, then a white point might become relevant.

When the media is profiled correctly, most every RIP has the Pantone libraries built in with LAB values and will print them as accurate as your ink's color gamut will allow. Converting pantone to CMYK for inkjet printing is basically just telling the printer to print this random CMYK value and ignore the Pantone provided LAB values.

Very true, but the CMYK value is not just random and the conversion is a daily routine for a vast amount of printed graphics, especially for designs combining PMS colors and photos.

RGB values are just a reference for online/web colors but again vary by the temperature of the screen or tube in older tvs. (think Walmart tv wall and they all look slightly different). Accurately profiled monitors can produce very accurate and repeatable color

Sorry, RGB values are a foundation of the color, any color correction, and the data path of the color. Not to be underestimated. The RGB model is usually where both training and image-making begins.

Colorcrest it seems you're taking small phrases out of my answer then making an argument out of context.
I'm not at all making broad statements about color spaces. I'm only referring to the values on the Pantone book for a particular color.

Sorry if I haven't been clear earlier, but my issue is that conversion tools should tell the user which color spaces are used as the working reference. This fact should be understood because it's necessary for accuracy. Otherwise, misplaced blame ensues as it often has.

Other than that, I would like to get the facts straight.
