True and I wonder the same thing, however, there are those who claim a 
change to 16 bit is better than leaving at 8 bit for large image 
adjustments. I haven't done any A-B testing since I process at native 16 
bit but it's not going to hurt anything--except for doubling the size of 
the file and slowing everything down.

My intuition says it won't make a lot of difference, but my intuition is 
wrong all the time!
