Ken -- I don't think this can be right. For example, a raw file records "raw" sensor data with no white balance applied at all (stored only as metadata) -- you can completely change the white balance in your favorite raw converter. White balance is applied only after the exposure has been determined, so at least in the way you are mentioning, it shouldn't affect anything.
