Unadulterated?  

RAW is some output from the sensor without JPG or other compression, but to 
get to that point it is already modified in some way.
What else is done with the data from the sensor pixel cells to the RAW data 
as it exists on your memory card is mojo of the
manufacturer.  For SLR's it may be small to non existent, but certainly, 
there is no data to believe it is not modified /
normalized/ Missing or dead  pixels replaced / anti shake treated /or 
otherwise modified.

As far as I have been led to understand a RAW File is the complete
unadulterated output from the sensor and nothing else at all.

A RAW file is the digital equivalent of a Negative.
