Would you mind explaining it... assuming that there's some value to what you (and the others) wrote?
To assume there's value in anything I say is a big assumption!
My SA comment was meant as a sort of joke playing off what you've heard. There is, however, a grain of truth in it.
First of all, the Leica RF is small and unassuming. Few people are aware that it's a "professional" camera, the just think it's a P&S and pay it no (or little) mind.
Secondly, good Leica RF shooters become very good at judging distance. A common practice is to pre-focus by guessing the distance to the subject. This is done with the camera at waist level. When it's time to shoot, the camera is brought up to the eye and if the focus is a little off, it's immediately apparent in the split window finder. Usually just a small quick tweak corrects. Related to that is the almost complete lack of shutter lag. Therefore, you're able to pre-focus, raise the camera, tweak and release the shutter before most people realize what's happened.
