No, it is correct in the context in which it was made.  The workspace was
set in "Color Settings", and I clearly stated the file was un-tagged.  As
such, the workspace determines how the image is displayed, and the ICC
follows this to be sure the print matches.

I think you are assuming a file that has an embedded profile, but that was
not the situation I was talking about.

I understand that in many instances, particularly color printing with a
specific printer and inkset, embedding the ICC might be a good idea.
However, my current thinking is that for the "Create ICC" profiles used in a
the B&W "Print with Preview" workflows that I have in mind, I'm probably
going to recommend un-tagged files.  My reasons for this are that, first,
those who use Photoshop Elements cannot easily embed the ICCs.  Second,
since the ICCs will include printer and tone specific information, and what
tone is wanted and what printer is used may change, it might be best to just
leave the file un-tagged until printing.  This shifts the view and print
"look" to the underlying workspace that is selected in "Color Settings."
You will note that I also am starting to include in the name of the file
what space it was edited in, because the underlying file will be affected by
the editing that is done in a specific space.

At any rate, the context of my discussion, as I noted initially, was with
un-tagged files.
