I don't know that I would specifically agree with you, but you don't
address the problem of having accepted your premise, and believing I can
make tonal adjustments in 8bit space, that I begin there and find out after
I didn't anticipate problems with subtle gradients and memory colors such as
skin tones. If I then realize for a specific example I should have begun in
16bit (15bit) space, I cannot go backwards ... i.e., it would have been the
best idea to begin with 15bits regardless of 8bits having been as good.
Personally, I believe beginning with high-bit space is simply good
practice, and with todays CPU power who is going to suffer any penalties?
