The second part of your statement is, not to put too fine a point on it, total nonsense. Compression does equal data loss, notably in the luminance channel but rather than try to convince you of this can I perhaps recommend some very good reading on the whole subject of RAW data/capture, what exactly it is and more precisely as concerns your point, what data (and amount) is being discarded when the JPEG option is chosen. The book is titled 'Real World Camera Raw' by Jeff Schewe. I think it's time to put this subject to bed now because unless and until you are prepared to be somewhat more open minded regarding this topic then it really serves no purpose. I don't wish to be unkind, that certainly isn't my intention, but I certainly feel that in this discussion you are at present convincing no one but yourself.
