I agree with this point.

But I don't agree with this point. But perhaps I'm just ignorant. It
seems to me that characteristic B&W filtering such as using green,
yellow, orange, red, etc filters can still be accomplished in post
processing. Or do you contend that what's captured on the sensor is
simply not a 100% realistic representation of the original light. I
think that is probably true but I think it would be pretty
inconsequential. So, what did you mean that I don't understand?
