Not necessarily true; within limits, you can do localized burning in with
different filter packs.  Of course, I do not know if this qualifies as being
a straight optical print or a custom color adjusted optical print.

This can be true; but you are working with different mediums.  Why would you
expect that there should be a one-to-one correspondence between what you get
with film, optical projection enlargement, and continuous tone dye based
emulsion based photographic papers, on the one hand, and digital, emonitor
displayed, and non-continuous toned dye or pigmented ink based printing on
inkjet medium.  Even under traditional analog methods there were differences
in color gamuts and limits on saturation when one went from the photographic
print or transparency to the press printed rendering, which the pressmen had
to make adjustments and compromises to come close to matching.

Yes, I can.
With enlarger you correct the whole picture by the same amount. The
proportion od colors is always the same, provided you use the same film
type. With digital you can have the whole picture well corrected but one
particular color will be off and this particular color will be oversaturated
in VueScan and undesaturated in NikonScan. VueScan gives really good results
but highlights always have a blueish tint. I'll try to post some samples on
my site later today or tomorrow, I have to pay for my expired pbase account.
