Also, the SLR covers more of the photographer's face than a rangefinder.
Your subject can see YOUR expression. TLRs are quieter than SLRs,
and if the camera is hanging from the neck, you're looking down at the image
it's hard to tell when the picture is taken. However, nowadays, the TLR
itself attracts a lot of attention because most don't know it.

A very good point, and I believe there's a similar effect on people when
they're the subjects of photography. People always seem a little more at
ease when I'm shooting with the waist-level TLR than eye-level SLR.
