Can't use maximum color values in CMYK document - what's wrong?

I can't set any colors in my document to maximum (i.e. value of 100) saturation or brightness. Is this a CMYK thing I've never noticed before?
If I do physically just move the sliders up to 100, then the color of my selected object doesn't change. When I exit the color window and re-enter it, the values have changed themselves to something in the 65-85 range.
Tried a new document and tried clearing Pshop preferences with no change. Everything works fine in an RGB doc.
I'd love some help! Thanks!

CMYK can only show saturated cyans, magentas, and yellows.
It can't reproduce saturated reds, greens, or blues.
HSB values are relative to RGB.
LAB values would similarly clip in CMYK because they can be well outside the CMYK gamut.
Yes, I suspect you just missed that previously.
