If eyes are as bad at colour matching as you say then why bother using
hardware to remove errors so small we couldn't possibly see them?

Our eyes are quite good when comparing side by side. Just
hold up a print next to your monitor and see if you cannot
see differences.

Contrariwise, if eyes are good enough to see the benefits of using
good colour matching hardware, then it should also be possible to
develop methods of using eyes to achieve the same accuracy.

No problem. You will need a stable, consistent source of light
for every colouring and shade to compare against --- a whole
bunch of visual tuning forks, so to say.

My guess is you will find it a couple thousand times more expensive
than current calibration hardware, not to mention very much slower
and quite eye straining for the same quality.
