Nor do PPMs catch peaks exactly either. They're based on metering

sound likes it's clipping, and a PPM won't register momentary clips
either.

Peaking at -8dBFS there won't be any clipping:-)

How do you KNOW you're peaking at -8dBFS with a PPM ?

One can check this accurately by looking at the envelope as we
have already discussed. The mixer's digital meters are sufficiently
accurate for mastering in particular when the test tones on the
pre-production master has be set up to -18dB with peaking level
as indicated -8dBFS. This is all pretty routine in mastering.
