They should learn something about their equipment first before go out and start shooting images.... and start giving reviews in "poetic" languuage, which ci=ontain no useful information.
BTW, I like 1 pixel sensor example  |
You say that crop factor is idiocy, but you have not explained what arithmetically is incorrect about using crop factor - what wrong answer it gives in terms of describing image relative to a 35mm full frame sensor.
I don't know what the error is that you are alluding to, all I started off saying is that applied incorrectly it - as some manufacturers do - it can be misleading.

Yes - your point being?
Arithmetically, relative to a 35mm Full frame camera, it works out the same as doing it geometrically.
