All paint needs xxx number of mills to accomplish its task. Many
commercial jobs actually measure the mills of installed paint to
check for compliance with specifications.

I find many people try to squeeze the paint onto walls, ceilings,
and other surfaces and try to make the paint go as far as
possible. Painters tend to hang as much paint on in each coat as
possible, just short of runs and sags. The paint is cheap, the
labor is high.

Applied a coat of Sherwin-Williams ProClassic Extra White to a
pre-primed door yesterday (primer has a very, very pale greenish
tint) and found that there are still dark patches showing
through.

Shouldn't one coat of a decent paint have been sufficient?
