OK, I hear you but:
1) why does that work and
2) how did you figure that out
It seems to me that, with the camera set to f/2.8 but the lens set at,
say, f/5.6 the camera would sense the ambient lighting at two stops less
than the actual. But, believing the camera is measuring at f/2.8 it
would underexpose on the shutter speed.
That apparently doesn't happen. What's wrong with my thinking? Is it
that the camera sees only the stopped down reading at the time of
exposure and makes a correct exposure because of it. If so, what's the
relevance of telling the camera the maximum aperture?
