You are correct, RAW is what the camera saw without any of the magic bells and whistles thrown in the mix.
The question is, do YOU want to take the photo or do you want your CAMERA and all its software, bells and whistles and so on to take the photo?
Guess I am old school and can most of the time do it better without the software, but then I did grow up with a 35mm rangefinder Leica and a handheld light meter!
