I like that article. For those people who "like to see what an image looks like straight out [of] the camera", just think for a moment how you are going to see it. On a monitor? But that depends on the monitor and its calibration. And even if you used a calibration tool, if you used it on a different monitor (especially a different model), the result won't be exactly the same. Out of a printer? But it will come differently from different printers. Did you say ICC profiles? But that is not much different from a display calibration (see above). Remember that even eye of different people will see the same picture differently. More over, your own eye will see the same picture differently, depending on your condition. Because your eye's "ICC" that is loaded in your brain can be fooled very easily by many-many factors (light around, your health, mood, etc.). No matter what media you use (film, digital, human eye, ...) - you always have a "transfer function" that has at least one calibration (e.g. your eye), - and that calibration can depend on many conditions.
