Etiquette for Taking Pictures of people

[hoohaaa]

the claim that you can ask for permission to take a shot, and get exactly the same photo as if you took it without the subject being aware of the camera, I believe is false.

I'm not aware of anyone claiming this.

Depends what form the approach takes, if it's friendly offer to show the image and possibly offer a copy. If it's aggressive tell them to take a hike, or take a hike yourself depending on their size
I would not delete the image unless I wanted to.

I'd take an opposite stance to that. If someone felt strongly enough to ask me to delete then I would. I wouldn't want my hobby to infringe on someone's privacy. If it was some busy body trying to stick there nose in like a security jobsworth though they'd get short shrift.
