Well here's a great example, the HTC One M9 camera in jpeg returns pretty bad images sometimes. The same image taken in raw and tweaked through manual post-processing results in a much better picture. There's nothing wrong with jpeg, there's also nothing wrong with raw. It just depends on if you trust the programmer who wrote the post-processing to return a good picture. You just cannot compare raw to jpeg. You can't do it because jpeg compresses the data. That's why it's jpeg...
I don't know why you are arguing this (sure general consumer won't care, they also probably won't even know how to turn on raw much less what it even means), it's physically impossible to get the same amount of detail from raw photo into a jpeg. It's that simple. Keep using jpeg, if you are so awesome at photos that you can get them in one shot then congratulations! More power to you! Don't tell me or others to stop using raw though, it will never happen. It's one of the reasons I chose the 1020, for the awesome sensor and I want to use all of that sensor with raw.
For me I use full manual controls and shoot several shots. I use raw because I want all of the detail not the compressed post-processed image. raw is essentially the same thing as the negative you would get from film.
