Is this statement true?
" The correct exposure was, is, and will always the combination of of your choice of the right size hole in lens (the aperture), the right amount of time this is allowed to remain on the digital sensor (the shutter speed) and the sensitivity to light (the ISO)."
What about the brightness of the subject? The reflectance of the subject? The amount of light you allowed to shine onto the subject?

The aperture, shutter speed, and ISO will vary according to the three factors you mentioned. If an object in the scene is very bright, then the dynamic range of the camera will make a difference.

The first statement about Making those adjustments more than "inferred" the conditions , of the last question. For example...The correct exposure implies that the brightness is being accounted for......So there you have one reaction to your unnecessary 2nd part. RJM

Who is the judge of the "right" exposure? Is it Low Key? High Key? Etc. You can only get the exposure you want by combining the three. You get to pick two of the three then the 3rd is set in stone to get the exposure you want. - Dave

The statement speaks for itself and accurately reflects the exposure triangle, no quantification required.

The exposure is just a cook book adjustment, its the lighting of the subject that separates the men from the boys.

Simply put:
Exposure is the amount of light per unit area times the amount of time that light is allowed to strike that area.
Photographic Exposure is the above with the sensitivity of the photographic medium taken into account.
Correct exposure incorporates the above with the added quantity of the photographer's intent. Thus, correct exposure is an arbitrary aspect reliant on the judgment of the photographer.

The other variables mentioned are all controlled by selection of aperture, shutter, and ISO. You can take the same subject in the same light and do all sorts of stuff with it by varying parts of the good ol' Triangle. You can (theoretically) turn a black cat white. The result will be dreadful, but it's at least theoretically doable. :-DThe statement speaks for itself and accurately reflects the exposure triangle, no quantification required.

I think the quote is incredibly poorly worded.
The correct exposure is the one that yields the result YOU want.
A "TECHNICALLY correct" exposure is the one that reproduces the original scene as accurately as possible. That may or may not be what you want!

I agree. My approach to photography is very basic. As such, the technically correct exposure is almost always what I want. >>AL

The first statement, quote is just a somewhat awkward phrasing of the Exposure Triangle. The latter questions posed are valid in my mind and suggest "Ansel Adams"-ish seeing the light or quality of the light -- Pre-visualization. Yes, dynamic range, but it can go further than that more to aesthetics. Read Minor White sometime on his version of the Zone System.
