While I agree with you in theory, I would still lighten the image a bit in practice, even after using the correct profile, which is calculated for "standard" conditions that don't necessarily exist in the press room, especially in a smaller printer. In my experience, most of us think images are lighter than they really are when we edit (probably due to the difference between transmitted light on our monitors and reflected light in print). I wouldn't go overboard, but a slightly light image is always better, in my book, than one that prints so dark your readers can't make out the details.
