"Equivalence" limited to the theoretical observation that two holes collect an equal amount of light is fine. Trying to understand the properties of one system as implemented in actual reality by converting them to the properties of another system as implemented in actual reality is a futile waste of time because a) it is much easier to skip that detour and b) it doesn't work anyway.

So, trying to define the light gathering of one lens against another in terms of f-number in actual reality is futile because it doesn't work anyway. I mount an f/2 lens on an E-P1 and an f/2.8 lens on an E-M5 in low light and its very likely that the f/2.8 lens will produce a better result.

An equivalence nazi is related to spelling nazis or soup nazis and usually not at all related to the 1930's political party.

Why use the word 'nazi' which carries with it the connotation of genocide? Is that not rather offensive to people whose only fault is to have a different opinion to yours?
