There was no such thing as RAW or JPG when Ansel ruled the earth.., he was a film photographer , during a film only era.
That what I'm getting at, and his photography blows my photography away, and I suspect a few others!!!...Julian

I don’t know how you came to think “multitudes” means “spray and pray”. Have never done that but shot 75 images at my granddaughter’s 2nd birthday party. One shot at a time. Some were deleted, most were keepers with slight post processing enhancement thru Apple Photos. Took very little time with very acceptable results.

Maybe the question should be which mode would Adams have chosen if RAW and jpeg had been available at the time?
In his day there was no choice. He shot RAW and used his developing skills (post processing) to create the image he had envisioned.

He used the zone method with 9 different shades of gray in the dark room.

Multitude(s) as in MANY, kinda describes spray&pray shooters. (There are many out there.)
He was thinking of and just saying that if one takes 150+ shots of, lets say a bird, it will be VERY time consuming to edit/tweak all of them. That's all.

I think you are missing something. I'll bet your blacks aren't black or your whites aren't white.
Adams (1981) designated 11 zones; other photographers, including Picker (1974) and White, Zakia, and Lorenz (1976) used 10 zones. Either approach is workable if the photographer is consistent in her methods.

Just wondering. If I shoot a jpeg and someone else shoots a raw. and we both process in PS. print on the same type paper/printer/ink, who can tell which was ahot jpeg and who shot raw?

No.
It's a trick question since your person performing the analysis will be looking at JPEG versions of both images.
