Read my lips Austin - it has nothing to do with the quality of the
viewfinder or better this or that. It's about different you could stick a
high quality LCD on the back of an M6 and it would give you a different view
(as in vision) of what you want to photograph. I think John's point (and
certainly mine) is that if you can get over seeing the LCD as a hindrance,
and obstacle, a second best way of viewing the scene, it in fact6 becomes a
very useful to for envisioning what you are trying to do - and it is
different from the viewfinder.
