I was taught by very good professionals that garbage in = garbage out. Yes, with photoshop you can manipulate an image and correct almost any issue, but if you shoot poorly you will spend all your time fixing and no time adding quality to your work.
it takes a very few seconds to get the white balance reasonable, and can ave you hours of retouching that you could otherwise spend improving the details of the image and making those minor corrections that move the picture from good to great.
Plus if your color balance isn't correct to start with, you have the potential to lose quality because you have colors that are either over saturated or under exposed. incorrect color balance can you lose you detail and colors in an image you will never reproduce.
