If your pictures are realistic, how come a picture of a mouse does not interest a cat?
Based on limited observations (I have only one cat), the interest of a cat may be triggered by motion rather than shape. Based on small rodents that my cat has caught, he will sit there and stare at them until they move. Then he will act. If the object does not move in a certain length of time (defined by the cat) then he will walk away.
The camera does what you tell it to do. If you make a mistake the camera wouldn’t fix it, but you can.
But a long time ago, while I was in a class with Ansel Adams he told us “if YOU can’t make it bigger or more important, don’t push the button, just remember what you saw”
The point is, YOU are what is creating an image with your vision of what you’re trying to say, you’re camera with how you use it, and your skill in post processing.
You are mistaken. Pure UHH. No one said anything about that. Try reading it again.

Your intention is perfectly clear. Read the thread title. Who wrote that title ?
Sorrrrrrrrry dude. You’re not innocent. You provoked the “who’s right and who’s wrong” question.
You could’ve asked for discussion of PP but instead you asked for a discussion of ETHICS !!! You did it. Don’t play naive...
The intent was to generate discussion. The thread did that. I could possibly have made a stronger statement that I was not defining the ethics, only stating my opinion on the subject. But it was not my intent to lay guilt on anyone. I hereby state that I'm cool with whatever floats your boat. My boat floats on afterexposure work frequently. I reserve the right not to float my boat your way and I grant you the same privilege.
I don't claim innocence. It's been a long time since I could be defined that way.
Obviously a rumor started by Ansel Adams.

Does anyone here really believe that their camera does not perform some amount of "post processing" before you even look at the screen?

Reality no. Subjective interpretation yes. Post processing is simply wish fulfillment.
Wrong.
RAW files do not have the dynamic range that the human eye does. PP can restore the pix to what the scene looked like when taken.
