Indeed it is, but that doesn't mean anything illuminated by a blackbody "match the hue of objects seen in natural daylight." CRI has much more to do with the ability to discriminate colors. The absolute hue is a strong function of the color temperature of the illumination, but the eye/brain is also very good at normalizing that away.
This is precisely why I don't think people complaining about "nasty cool light" are based in fact. The color of the environment around you will quickly be normalized to be neutral by your brain, and it will be impossible for you to tell whether you are illuminated by a 3000K or 5500K light. You can really only tell color differences accurately.
