I can't agree with this... we can't feed beginners with misconceptions from the very start.
Cropped sensor is smaller and that is why the FOV is smaller .. not because "efective" FL is longer.
We had a discussion here on IIS, there was one begginer who after some time calculateed his camera scale (pixel size in arcsec) wrongly and was confused with results when he went to plate solving website - results did no match his figures....
