This misconception was started by "artist"-photographers who had no knowledge about optics, and we should try to root it out - it doesn't help understanding the technology at all, and after all, AP is in essence techical photography...

I understand it may not be "technically" correct Bojan. But for a beginner it is probably the simplest way to understand the concept of how crop sensors affect field of view through a given Focal length lens.
I don't claim to be an expert and was just passing on information that I'd picked up over my first 12 months in this hobby. Apologies if I have misled anyone..
