Sleep peacefully, people. There will not be a war.

Re-read what I wrote. If you know that a meter will lie under a certain scenario, you can compensate just fine with exposure compensation in the 'auto' modes.

Personally I find it easier to spot meter in that instance (and in most instances, actually). Know I want something silhouetted? Spot it, expose it two stops under, done. Know I want to stop a highlight blowing out? Spot it, keep it within two stops over. etc. etc.

I find my meter is inaccurate a whole lot more than I'd like, but then I do use a D80 with its notoriously awful metering so I sort of ask for it.
