DSLR RAW data, despite how it might be prepared for processing is vulnerable to the manner in which it is first prepared by the camera and, a number of image processing issues that originate at acquisition. Frankly, I think this is where it all begins, good and bad results.
Furthermore, I think software tends to make assumptions about what we want to do with our data. Besides being aware of DSLR RAW data non-linearity issues and how that might be handled (the readon for this thread) it may be time for a close look at what we should do with our data, rather than what happens to it.
I like the idea of using dcraw options to suit, rather than accepting defaults that presume/make false assumptions about our data. Rah, rah, rah... raise the flag...
