Matrix (or Evaluative) is doing compensation for you. We just have no idea by how much. It could add a third of a stop to one shot and 2/3rds to the next.
But, we do know it keeps getting better at math.

PS I ask my students to use CWA metering, as it is something that can be learned. It's an OLD photographic standard.

They're a bit nuts over here so you can get them in the garden!
Although do try for them in the sky but need more practice
They are a tad curious?

My Dad taught me that! I just didn't understand the abbreviation. That is where I goofed, I was using Matrix, Thanks!

Also a "creative exposure" is when you use a setting different than the one the camera gives you. Not one with the same EV based on reciprocity (another error in BP's book).
An example is photographing a couple at sunset on a beach. Do you subtract from the exposure to make a silhouette with a deep colored sky, or add to the exposure so you can see their faces -- or add a flash for fill so you can have both facial detail AND a deep sky? The answer is D) all the above. There is no one right answer but how YOU want the picture to look.
Or you can use the Green setting (with Matrix style metering) and let the camera decide for you.

Ok, call me a pinhead but you lost me here.FYI anyone who tries to explain exposure while ignoring metering modes is another crumb gatherer. Not a master of photography. How we "pros" read (or interpret) the info given to us by the meter is completely based on the chosen metering mode. We first need to know what the meter is based on.
That is what I used, how would center-weighted have improved it??Or you can use the Green setting (with Matrix style metering) and let the camera decide for you.

I see.That was a BP slam. He doesn't cover metering modes BEFORE talking about metering. His teaching method has NO foundation.
I have read many writings on metering/exposure, my Dad's books, online etc. Asked many questions, but I still don't 'get' it.CWA is a photographic standard (based on 18% reflectance). It can be learned and later adjusted from when used as a basis for exposure readings. Matrix metering also has no foundation, and there is no way to "guess" by how much you need to adjust from a Matrix style indication.
Does that make sense?
