Am I correct in my assumption that the double sharps and flats which frequently appear when you transpose a piece are actually the *correct pitches*? However awkward they may be, and however appropriate it may be to simplify them through editing (as opposed to changing to an equivalent key), they are still technically correct. Am I right?

Depends.


If the accidentals were written "correctly" on the original, you're transposing by the appropriate interval, and the piece is reasonably tonal to begin with, then yes.

In my experience, it's not too uncommon for one of those not to be the case.
