That is far from all I can tell you. I have already told you much more.

I have told you that Foveon cameras (via SPP) produce much lower horizontal pixel level jpeg compression ratios than Bayer cameras - and that is a clear evidence of more information.

I have also already noted that one can take shots with lens cap on and then convert raw to jpeg via SPP and see the resulting file sizes to get an estimate of the relative impact of noise + postprocessing. And I can tell you with certainty that extra noise + postprocessing is unable to describe the jpeg compression ratio difference between Foveon and Bayer images. Which means the Foveon extra information is real, not imaginary.

Now it is your turn to stop your talk and walk your walk.
