Then you really don't understand the benefit of a rangefinder when it
comes
to composing and choosing the "decisive moment" for snapping the shutter.
Yeah I guess you're right <VBG>
The first cameras I ever used were range finders - try on a Zeiss Ikon
Contina & a Voightlander something or other back in the mid 60's.
How many tomes have to taken a picture of someone only to find out they've
blinked or had a funny look on their face, or something has unexpectedly
found its way into the frame (see above).
And how does a rangefinder change the outcome?
There's a certain "transparency" when using a rangefinder like the Leica
that you don't find in an SLR
Please define transparancy?
I can appreciate using "old" technology, just please don't insist it's
better for its ultimate usage.

I don't see how this is a concern, once you've pushed the release, you've
decided that's what you want

but again, its what's in the frame that I'm interested in
There's a certain "transparency" when using a rangefinder like the Leica
that you don't find in an SLR. Until you've used one for a while, you'll
never understand what we're talking about.
