Subject: [Leica] Stupid question: the shutter in the bag

My M6's manual recommends setting the shutter speed to B when putting
the camera in the bag to prevent accidental activation of the meter. It
seems to me that a much easier way is simply to leave the shutter
uncocked. I have also read somewhere that it is better for the shutter
to not leave it under tension for long periods. I wonder why the manual
does not say anything about that. Any thoughts on this?
