I never made the comments you are citing. I always favoured a solution, in which the Leica dealers stay sitting on Leitz's broken M6s, not the customer, who just hopes for the wonder of a correct working camera body. The text you're citing is from Patrick, who showed (also), that the probability, that a "...randomly-selected M6 has a problem is somewhere between about 9% and 37% - -- if Fernando's sample is unbiased..."
