nospamI have yet to see your proof of discernible (visible) changes in conversion from RGB to Lab in PS. Still in the queue is it?

The only time you might see a difference would be if there were colors in the LAB spectrum that are not in the RGB spectrum, and those differences would rarely be noticable in a photograph.
A good point - but nospam's contention is conversion differences.
Let's color the situation. The files were taken from raw, reduced in size, saved as TIFF in each RGB and Lab. Re-loaded and compared (differenced). There is not a hint of delta.

there's a difference there too.
i did: image/duplicate, append -converted to the name. image/mode/lab image/mode/rgb image/calculations, original on top, converted below, subtract mode
optionally, just before the calculation step, switch between the two images while looking at the histogram palette. there's a difference. then do the calculation step.
