This isn't something there is any question about it. There's an
article about an optics engineer and photographer here:
http://www.photo.net/learn/raw/
that shows how it works. There's a hundred other places to get the
same information. RAW comes off the sensor without any settings
applied. That means white balance settings don't matter.

This is incorrect. White balance is applied by the camera only
when creating a jpg. The RAW data is unaffected by the white
balance setting, which becomes simply header information for the converter.

I guess what I am trying to explain is that lets say you take two
pictures exactly the same except you use different white balances'
when you create them you will not necessarily get the same result
using the raw file converter to "Fix" the white balance weather
you have a properly exposed file or not.
