Alfie Where have you heard that? Have you tried anytime a matrix Nikon or evaluative Canon metering? Why to compare always Leica to others, if it his true strengh is on the lenses? I've used and, of course, tested all the three systems and the only fool was the owner (me). In my humble opinion and experience the accuracy of any metering system is based more on the software than in the number of metering zones and today any modern system, including Leica, are working great. But if I had to choose a winner the Nikon F5 is good for 99% and it is "not" at all fooled by a strong backlight.
