Obviously, some of us disagree. To use a tool well it's better to have an understanding of what that tool is doing. Knowing just how a particular digital camera processes a RAW file is no more esoteric than knowing how a particular developer affects pushed film. It's not information *every* photographer needs to know, but to dismiss it as information that no photographer ever needs is incorrect.
