That's not what 4000 students that I have taught over the last 20+ years have said and recorded nor any of my peer reviews in digital image editing and photography across multiple disciplines including animation and illustration. I am sorry you misunderstood and did not comprehend. Have a great day...
Oh, I understood perfectly.

To start off I am not a photographer as such I take photographs and I wonder why all of the so called professional photographers have to alter all of the photos that they take? Aren't any of them good enough to use the photos as they are taken? Just wondering.
Mostly because professionals can see the difference between a camera processed photo and improvements they can achieve themselves manually. It's not because they "have to" but because they recognize the shortcomings of all cameras, whether film or digital, and want to fix those shortcomings to improve their art. Even Ansel Adams was a master post processing artist in a darkroom and didn't expect the camera to capture what he saw in person. "Good enough" is good enough for some people and not for others. Those who excel in any field of artistic pursuit do so with lots of practice and taking total control of whatever they're doing artistically.

In addition, RAW images by their very nature of having all the information (metadata) necessary for post processing are just flat. Plain and simple, just flat. RAW is your digital negative and as such requires processing just like film did in the days of film.
