First of all, there are situations where you have to tweak WB multiple
times - again, indoor with multiple sources of light.

Second, really, forget it. It's not an issue I care passionately about

meant when I do shoot colors :-) ) LR lets you do things to raw file
over and over again, just forget that I said WB.
