yes they do because cooked oats are also raw oats but just softened

No this is wrong! You must properly prepare oats by soaking them over night and then cooking them for a long time. Why? Well, think about it logically. Oats can last for a long time in storage, and in the wild. Why? Because they contain powerful enzyme inhibitors that stop the degradation, Google phytic acid as one example. These will inhibit mineral absorption throughout your G.I. tract and deplete you of minerals. They will eventually lead to the build up of toxins and slow you down. So, no they are not just softened!!!

If you mean oats as in oatmeal, the answer is yes. Those oats have already been cooked and you are just rehydrating them when you make the oatmeal. Old fashioned oats (those that cook in 5 minutes) and the instant oatmeal are all precooked. The old fashioned oats aren't as highly processed as the instant.

Is eating raw oatmeal dangerous?

Some of it. Raw oatmeal contains a lot of fibre, so a lot of it will just simply pass through you as feces, and not get much nutrient out of it. Oh it will be digested, there's no doubt about that, but it's the fact of whether much will be gotten out of it in the first place. Raw oatmeal is a good gut-filler, but that's pretty much all that it's good for.
