So if something is on page 435 of a physical book, but your settings on your ereader have it so it's displayed on screen with page 434 the ereader would display 434.
It'll still eventually flip to 435, and you'd not have to page back more than one page to find the quote. Still imprecise compared to physical books, but a large step closer than either ADE or Kobo's current or prior methods.
As I said earlier, it's making a broken system work as much as possible, since creating a truly universal system is going to be impossible without limiting screen size, text size, line spacing, margins, font, kerning, etc. etc.

If you want page numbers to work as you are describing, then get a Kindle. That's how they work. Amazon's page number file lines up with some pBook version of the eBook. The only thing I am not sure of is when the screen crosses a page number boundary if it uses the higher or lower number.
