Some learning can happen without the conscious mind focusing on it. The muscles act, the ears hear, the nerves feel, and the unconscious mind adjusts. Sometimes the conscious mind can actually slow up the process by focusing on less relevant aspects or prioritizing things wrong. That's SOMETIMES.
In the past I've practiced resistant technical passages while watching television. The passages got better, and it didn't take very long. That surprised me, yet it was repeatable. If you don't believe it, try it.
I haven't done that in years, but I can't discount said method. It brings into question the degree that conscious, foreground brain focus is required during practice. After all, the goal is to be able to perform the muscular activity without conscious thought - why can't we just practice that?
So, Ned, what you do sounds reasonable to me. However, you lost me with your problems with terminology. I think that metaphoric terms descriptive of people's subjective response to different clarinet sounds are about as good as you can get, words all being fairly approximate anyway.
If instead you listed numerical strengths of specific audible frequencies it might be more accurate, but it would fail to convey an experience to anyone, except perhaps to those mathematically inclined enough to nitpick it anyway. Legalese attempts to avoid misunderstanding, but at that it invariably fails, and only prevents many from understanding at all.
