I've had a dozen reflexes or more and never noticed the mirror was in the way 
"to the film" when actually shooting.

Should I read "to the eye"?

It was used for composition and focus just as in the RFs.

Calling an M mirror less is anyhow probably excessive.

The goodness about real mirrorless is that the display automatically adapts to 
the level of light for you to compose more easily.

You were nearly as blind with an M as with an R in that respect.
