Says whom?  :)

I've been pleasantly surprised at the times when I haven't had time to
carefully meter a new scene.  Grabbed the Leica out, lined up the blinking
red dots like Ted advises, focused, and started shooting.  I haven't had any
abysmal failures using this method.

If I have time, I take the time to decide where I want to place the tones.
I find that more satisfying.  But there's nothing wrong with using the red
leds for their intended purpose, either.
