Is there anything to the zone system for waveform monitors for grading?

Wow, I haven't thought about #2 printing paper for about 50 years. I usually got better results with #3, probably because I was shooting available light (but moving subjects) so my negatives tended to be a little thin and not have enough contrast. That does bring back some memories ...

It's funny, I watched some grading tutorial and at some point they specifically mentioned zones, and I was like " I KNEW IT!!!!"

Of course now I can't find it. If I do I'll post it.
