SL1 vs. large lenses

I've read many anecdotal comments about the SL1 being "too small/light" for use with "larger" lenses. Even DPR's summery includes the line "Grip may be insufficient for use with larger lenses". As a relative novice I don't quite understand this notion (and regrettably there is no B&M store within reasonable distance where I can try holding one with something like an 18-135 or a superzoom).

Do we not always have our left hand supporting the lens anyway? Isn't using a larger lens a simple matter of relocating the left hand slightly?
