Compression in JPEG files in digital cameras

the Bayer sensor versus the loss that comes from JPEG.
The real problem with JPEG is that it is not edit-safe,
rather than loss of information at creation time.
Is it not obvious to you that the "loss" from using a bayer sensor (which
isn't really a loss in the same sense) and the loss due to JPEG compression
are going to be cummulative in nature. Thus, the JPEG losses will only add to
any losses due to using a bayer sensor.
