So, does this mean that when PhotoShop gives me the choice, upon opening a
file, to use the embedded profile, assign a different profile or not to
color manage that the phrase "don't color manage" is actually incorrect?
That it is not truly not color managing but using whatever defaults I have
chosen in PhotoShop?
Yes, it has to make some assumption for untagged files, since it has no way to know what the color values are supposed to me, without the tag that defines what they mean. You keep saying you are saving files with no tag attached, then opening and getting options that I don't think are actually available with an untagged file. You can't convert an untagged file until you assign some space to convert *from*...
