So what? Is anyone surprised. If you put up a straw man, he's easy to knock 
down.

Did the bother to put things like "Availability of 1.4 lenses?" No, why 
not? Because the comparison is from marketers, not photographers.

The G2 is a class act, a great camera, with some great features. A Leica 
it's not, and as an instrument for documentary photojournalism, the M6 wins 
hands down.
