Tongue-and-cheek, maybe, but not a silly question! The real question is, when the automation fails, does it do so in ever subtler, less-predictable ways? It's easy to second-guess the M6 meter, because it's very simple. But the fancier Nikon stuff gathers data on distance, camera orientation, color and who knows what else, all referenced to data based on real photos. Practically the only thing missing is the personality of a famous, dead photographer, burned into silicon, ready to correct for any compositional "errors"! Of course, the long-time Leica photographer already has most of this data burned in the ole wetware. Jeff
