I agree, in part.

The raw are more flexible/ richer in information than the JPEGS - when you do a 
lot of fiddling with your pixes as I do, JPEG is hopeless - even the presumably 
excellent fujis are - compared to the range of editing offered by raw files.
Just shoot a snap that is at the limit of the sensor range and compare the 
corrections available from JPEGs and from RAW - trying is believing :-)
Maybe even more telling, try the adjustments of the WB with mixed lighting in 
JPEGs and in RAW ...
 
Hope this helps.
