If you shoot RAW, much more tonal data is preserved. Nothing is clipped. Incorrectly exposed images can usually be brought up in PP.  In fact you do edit the unwanted images on the camera. If you shoot RAW, there is only one image to edit, albeit on the computer. I agree that if you discard the unwanted imaged in the camera there won't be a storage problem. If you use a K1, the stored images are huge compared to a K5.

Everything you say is probably quite true but I find it is easy enough to do any corrections at the PP stage so I don't get too carried away with the technicalities.

PP cannot correct clipping - once data is clipped it is gone.

Bracketing everything is a solution but it must shorten the life of the camera & triples the editing process, not to mention the storage space needed.

Storage is cheap compared to glass. I do fine with 64 gb because I very seldom shoot video. Bracketing does not require more editing - after shooting I look at the BW and color histograms in the camera and keep only the best (and not clipped) images.

I try to do as little as possible in post - I prefer to get the best image in camera.
