Help, I am confused. I use FF, aps-c, mft. I like all of them, for different reasons. And shamefully I must admit to even use a one incher. And now I read all these thoughtful educated threads about "mine is bigger than yours", "this is why size does not matter", or "smaller, indeed is better", and the best: "Equivalence this, equivalence that......., why F2 is not F2 and 50mm not 50mm", "dof, stops, iso cheaters,". Help, I am confused. Did I loose my identity as a photog, not knowing which size and why?

Who can help me.:-O

Simple answer is that cameras are for people who like to take photos, equivalence is for people who like to argue endlessly on forums.

It's worth noting that the person who wrote the Equivalence Essay also took these photos. I'll be kind and not link to photos taken by some who argue against Equivalence.

EDIT: I note downthread that someone else said something similar to what you said:

The "professors" need to get out and actually do some photography if they are capable; just to realise how irrelevant all that equivalence codswallop is to actual photography.

Can do. Took this one earlier today:

Does that count for "actual photography"? If so, I'm sure I'm not the only person with the remarkable ability to discuss Equivalence and do "actual photography" at the same time.  Well, maybe not at the same time, but at least on the same day.
