That's not what I said. The adjustments and tuning provided by the 22bit A-D could be fixed and not affected by user selection of color space or adjustments to white balance, and therefore independent of what gets written in a RAW file. It will take testing to determine exactly what does happen to the RAW file with these adjustments, if anything. And to determine whether it is of practical significance to a photographer or to image quality, not just a "quantifiable" change. The K10D is, after all, supposed to be a camera ... not an exercise in Digital Systems Engineering 101.
