What the hell does that mean?  How are X3 "RAW IMAGES" any different than
any other images?  I thought that WAS the point with this sensor, that the
data was in standard 3 color pixel format, and required no "support"?

That is an unbelievably foolish statement, and is entirely laughable.  I can
only guess he bought stock in the company, and had to come up with something
to say...and that's the best he could do.
