Real World Camera Raw is written from the perspective of what a
photographer would want to do when making a RAW conversion. For someone
trying to write a technical paper on the use of any software for RAW
conversion, it should prove an excellent resource. I also recommended
it in the very first response to Aaron's question.

I'm of a different opinion. The question was about what a photographer
might want, which may be different in many ways from what the
program(s)
may offer. A photographer may have a perfect understanding of raw
conversion, but s/he may ~want~ something more or different. One
thing has
little or nothing to do with the other.

I can't believe the comments Aaron is getting in this thread. The
original
question (which was not posed by Aaron and which has yet to be
acknowledged
or answered as far as I can see), was:
"What are some typical things you'd want to
do if you had a RAW file and you wanted to
make sure everything was okay before you
saved it in the other format? We know the
things the program can do, but we don't know
what a photographer would actually want to do."
That this simple question even got to the point where people started
questioning, and in some cases, judging, Aaron's decision to shoot
JPEG's
~in a specific situation~, is beyond my comprehension.
At the moment I know I'm only getting bits of threads in my in-box,
the
list
seems to be a bit ragged again so I can only post answers to what I've
read. In
any case, based on the original question, Graywolfs answer seems the
most
fitting, particularly given the responses from the original poster.
