I think you approach the issue pretty logically. The idea of what is the main creative tool in the process can be an awfully HUGE grey area though. Many could argue without the base capture, the image would have never existed, no matter how much post-processing was done to it. I don't think there will ever be agreement on how far is too far in image adjustment except for things like adding additional subjects that were never there to begin with. The extent of dodging/burning/boosting is all a matter of taste. I don't think you could ever define how much is too much with those things because everyone's perception and artistic vision is different. I think people have to define for themselves first whether they are approaching a subject photojournalistically or artistically and then let that guide their path.
