>> I/Q Data is a signal representation much more precise

Is precise the right word here? It’s more complete, less information is lost (sampling is never lossless though) but there’s no difference in precision.

If i have IQ data then i can derive the data that would be preserved by any other modulation (phase, frequency, amplitude shifting). I can’t recover the original IQ samples from a sampled FM signal.
