This will generate a comment or two.
I don't disagree with any of the eight reasons, but raw can allow for a wider range of adjustments - if necessary.

No doubt!
Can't argue with any of the reasons. But, as for me, I like RAW simply because I like to play with PP - brings out my creative urges.

It's a silly argument. There are times when shooting JPG is advantageous and there are times when shooting RAW is the way to go. More often than not, I have the camera set to record both.

It's actually not tailored as an argument at all, just giving reasons to shoot JPEGS over raw files.

If you are not shooting tons of images, then why not shoot raw, or better yet: both? When I worked as a pro doing weddings and events: I and most of my colleagues at that time almost always shot JPEGs. It was up to us to know how to craft good images without the use of raw. We watched our histograms carefully. So we knew when a RAW image was the wise choice. Though honestly, I think I shot RAW less than 1% of my images in a year. The added processing speed while working with JPEGs was a blessing when I had to go through almost 2000 images and get them culled down, retouched, and ready for the bride to see in a week or so. I became so much in the habit of shooting JPEGs that I feel more comfortable doing it that way, even though I am completely retired for five years now. So now I usually shoot both at once. I rough edit using the jpegs to save time, then dump the RAWs that are not needed. But when action requires continuous shooting at the fastest rate the camera can muster, JPEGs only all the way!

"Just as shooting on film disciplines you into trying to get the result you want in camera, so can the knowledge that you don’t have a Raw file to fall back on when shooting a JPEG."
That sounds like a reason to shoot RAW.

I don't know that's not what I got out of it, sounds like it's more reason to learn to get it in camera as best as possible.

Traditionally, I use RAW form most applications. But when doing more casual shooting at parties and such, or for sports photography when faster shooting is required, I will switch. Just like chancing from Manual to Shutter or Aperture priority, it is a choice based on the appropriate need.
