Not sure if it's the same reason... many KR readers probably don't know how wrong the guy is because I've seen a few early-learners linking to his site as gospel. I mean, look at the population of FourThirds users who don't(and refuse to) understand equivalence.
As for personal experience/opinion giving more... sure... most people's cameras aren't going to be used for shooting test charts in a scientific way. That's why shooting lego bricks from a weird angle makes a lot more sense to everyday photography <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
