To me, in practical terms, the advantage of shooting RAW is easy white balance adjustment, it keep the original shooting color that I may not want it as final output. Such as late evening scenes where I want partial color correction but also want to know how the original should look.

Camera JPEG is not the only final output, it can be adjusted to a large extend. It does not like the poorly processed JPEG you sometimes seen from the state of the art RAW converters where both shadow and highlight were seriously clipped.

Here is an 2001 E-10 JPEG shot, resized only:

Here is one with shadow recover (layer used):

As for the others like focus error, it can't be recovered even with RAW.

I like your confidence level and I assume you're at least 10X better than me
but it's the real world out there and #$%^# still happens.

Like what?

As the saying goes: "Chimp Early and Chimp Often."

So, I'm covering an event for the client. I shoot, chimp and and
satisfied that the picture meets the customer's needs. At that point,
I set the protect flag on the image and go on with the next thing. The
moment I set the protect flag (I'm using the EyeFi card), I never
touch the image again.

What if the focus is wrong? I chimp and reshoot or select a different
image from the set.

What if there is an eye closed? Again, caught in the chimp.

What if the exposure is bad? DUDE! That's why they pay me.
