I'm not sure I get you fully here. The "average scene", whatever that
may be, may well expect 13%. But, AFAIK, cameras still meter for 18%.

Why? Surely the trick is to take readings off those things the camera
expects, which is still (rightly or wrongly) 18%?

Not that 5% is really going to make any significant difference... but
still...
