The most likely reason that some claim generalities such as "nothing is better than a fixed 6x" is because they have low eyesight resolution and cannot see well with a scope of less magnification.
Then if follows easy if one has a complex to talk others into the fact that they must live in that box also.
The oculist asks YOU if you can see better with a or b and then selects that for you.
I'll EASILY put my eyesight and resolution against yours, any day, at any range.
I would NEVER make that offer re: hearing (as mine sucks), but eyes? Yeah, no problem.
Oh, and you couldn't be more off-base if you tried.
Awaiting the next whining PM as to how I'm being mean, or demeaning, or some other crock of chit...
