Where have I suggested ANYTHING about the possibilities of RAW that makes you say what you said (see bolded statement above)? Here, I'll make it easier on you and quote what I said and you tell me what's being suggested that you don't think is possible...

Again, I'm not arguing against using RAW. I'm not arguing against post-processing. I'm not arguing against the capabilities of RAW. I'm not arguing against you. Why do you feel the need to make up arguments?

Oh I just love arguing. Being able to develop and defend an argument is an important skill. Don't go taking any of this personally - it's not you, it's your claim that I'm arguing against. If you are taking it personally, or don't like arguing (boo!), just let me know and I'll stop.

To answer your question: I'm arguing against your assertion in your first post that it's possible to use RAW as a crutch in a significant way. I think that at most it can be used to correct a narrow window of nearly-properly exposed images without any significant quality degradation.
