The thing that I find most offputting with evf's is the whitebalance. Second thing is the lack of subtlety in the colour and contrast. It just looks ugly compared to what you see with your eyes.

EVF is about as ugly as the data which are captured by the digital sensor resp. digital camera and what is created from this data - the image - when compared to real nature.

That's almost a vibrant hate declaration against the very essence of photography

Not at all. It says nothing about the art of photography.

Lesiter's statement is: The EVF image is ugly compared to nature (which isn't an image).

Then everything except nature can be seen as ugly compared to nature.

If someone is looking at a high contrast scene (of nature) he/she usually scans the scene in bright and dark areas sequentially and the eye needs time to adapt to the resp. areas.

Of course he can look through an OVF of his camera and do the same. But it will be impossible for him to ban the scene an a medium which faithfully reveals the whole brightness variations on a planar image in one step. I.e. the image will be ugly compared to nature.

There are ways to come close to nature of course. Using 3D imaging is a big leap f.ex..
