Strictly speaking, they don't say that they don't use software correction for image artifacts, it just says they don't need to
But really, what it does imply is that no image artifacts, i.e. visible flaws, will be left in the image, nor will they be corrected by software. After that we can discuss if the lens is perfect, or if they use software to correct non-image-artifacts, in either case a less interesting issue.
The interesting issue is the verbal sparring with Hasselblad. The interesting comparison will eventually be the Hasselblad 28mm versus the Leica 24mm, and the battle will be fought in the corners.
My personal feeling is that the difference will be visible, but that the Hasselblad will be good enough, including its corrections, that very few people will care.
I'm not sure. I had sent to me a file from a Hassy 28 that was supposed to show how good it was and boy, was it not. I am quite, but not extraordinarily, fussy but I do think that some people just don't look carefully. It's like all these threads where people are posting shots to show how great their 28 Cron (or whatever) does on their G1 (or Pen or...) when they just haven't looked!
