LOL. But I did get one thing wrong: there has been very little arguing - a good day for friendly conversation, I guess: no full moon in sight!SOOC or tarred with PP matters not a jot to me. All I want to do is help out with the page count which is far more interesting than the original pointless argument

Obviously, it means straight out of the camera. Take the picture, upload it to a computer, and there it is - straight out of the camera. No mystery. It doesn't matter what the camera does to it. If the camera did no processing, you'd have nothing but thousands of 1s and 0s.
Then why is it not called SOOTC? Now that would make more sense, don't you agree?

Ooo, ooo, ooo.
I have an original Charlie One Horse, will that work?

There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.

Really? Sorry, this thread will do nothing to improve my knowledge and skill level. I will leave it to the uninformed to continue this tripe.
Is that the reason you're here? Really?
Hey, I like tripe. Trippa ala Marinara made by my favorite Italian restaurant, Dom and Vinnie's. Their tripe is transformational . . . Don't knock tripe. . . or mistake it for the content of this thread.
The only correct answer is SOOC is meaningless. Polaroid is the only true SOOTC. And I am officially changing SOOC to SOOTC, btw.

No, that would be SOOAC

However, in today's digital world, a digital picture has to be processed ('cooked') in order to view it. So if one personally doesn't do any cooking, one is simply accepting the cooking that was done by the camera software's computer programmers and software engineers. That leads to other questions: Who's cooking do you prefer? Canon? Nikon? Olympus?..............."
Wait, is this threat turning into a cooking thread? First Billnikon with his reference to "tripe" and now you are cooking digital pictures or having the camera do the cooking - what next? Fried Highlights?

SOOC can include ANYTHING the camera menu can do. It's just a usable JPEG file, straight out of the camera!
All those scene modes, art modes, picture styles, etc. are baked into a JPEG image in the camera. They only affect the preview image of a raw file. Raw data IS is unprocessed data... It has to be processed to be useful.
As good as automation is, often it takes testing, knowledge, understanding, trial and error, and skill to make files in the camera that satisfy. It's much easier to capture a raw file and tweak it in post-processing.
Any former slide/transparency photographer knows what I'm talking about! I used to carry an incident meter, color temperature meter, a big bag of filters, some reflectors, and a couple of speed lights for field work. I had filters for flash, bulbs to swap out with table lamps, diffusion sheets (Rosco Soft Frost), and other goodies to control contrast and color balance. I use a lot less of that now, including no filters other than a polarizer, a clear glass protector that I rarely need, and a couple of ND filters.
Slide film had very little latitude for acceptable results. So do JPEGs. Raw files are like undeveloped color negative film in most respects.

Polysyllabic phraseology: Big Words. I spent four years in academia learning it, and four years unlearning it so I could communicate with real people.
I think the Latin version of your first phrase is "Carpe Diem", which means "seize the day." Or as Traffic put it, "When you see a chance, take it." Or, as attributed to Yogi Berra, "When you see a fork in the road, take it." Then there was Robert Frost, who said something about taking the road less traveled by...
Ah, fuggeddaboudit.

I've always wondered about "the road less traveled", by whom???

Wasn't there a story about the Donners who took the path less traveled?

Yea, they did.
Problem was, they didn't take enough provisions.

Actually, they didn't read the manual ... They ignored the best practices of when to travel, and then tried unproven short-cuts to try to catch up that only made matters worse.
