Workshop 1 - White Balance in DSLR

I have strong opinions when people ask me about white balance and in today's class it was good to see a few others were questioning one idea put in front of them. My belief with white balance is as long as you know exactly what the camera will do with the colour presented to it that it doesn't matter what setting you select. This brings me to the next point, if you put it on AUTO white balance how can you know  what the camera is doing as youv'e now allowed to think for itself. Down with AUTO.......

If I were shooting a scene like the one below II'd like to know exactly what the camera was doing with the colour and get it right in the camera, not messing around in post for ages.

(PS. I like this shot)
