That approach doesn't make any practical sense and it reveals a level of unfamiliarity with the tool. Im confident this is reason behind most of the extreme anti-digital sentiments.
When you scan an image, a sensor is reading in light reflected off of your negative. The computer has no clue as to the appropriate levels for the image you are scanning. It is up to the user to fine-tune the image controls such that the resulting image resembles what it looks like in real-life, or what it looks like if you had printed it using an enlarger. It's just like when using a digicam, you have to set the white balance, or just like in the analog world, when printing, you would control the exposure & development time.
By saying you'll just scan the image, without correction, you are not using the tool correctly and thus end up with an inferior result, which in turn is blamed on the digital process, and the vicious cycle continues..
I say, use it before bashing it.
