If that's what you want to believe, ok.
Still waiting to hear/read this from some reliable source.

And I can answer yes I do know what a black level is (aka pedestal or set-up). In NTSC it’s 7.5IRE or in digital it’s 0mV.
0IRE corresponds to 0 voltage, or 0mV if you wish.
Actually, in digital, it's 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0. No voltages, just ones and zeros.

The proper way to set the black level is by using pluge. The brightness is turned up until the darkest stripe of pluge is barely visible.
Correct . . . pretty much. Since your instructions seems to assume a pulge using two stripes, I would suggest adjusting brightness until the darker of the stripes matches "screen black" (becomes invisible) and the other stripe remains barely visible. On most plasmas and LCDs, this will result in a black luminance in the range of 0.4 to 0.8 cd/m^2 which is pretty darn black even in the dimmest of rooms - certainly isn't going to be "milky" by any stretch of the imagination.
