Richard, you are absolutely right, and 100% more qualified than most to have accurate knowledge on the topic. For those that don’t know codecs, perhaps they are not educated in it enough, though it’s a whole other ball game to act like you know what you are talking about (not directed at anybody, just general) for example, if you take a Ford Mustang and “transcode” it to a Lamborghini body kit, on the surface it will look like a Lamborghini, but when it comes time to take it for a test drive, it will have the same performance as the original Ford Mustang, there is nothing you can do to change that fact, but to get the genuine Lambo – much like if you shoot with 420 there is nothing you can do to transcode it to get 422 or 4444 – all you will have is a nice wrapped file on your drive that says 4444 for example, just like the Mustang Lambo exterior, and in that 4444 file you will find your original 420!
