Besides, I don't have any problem "seeing" no matter what camera/lens you hand me, so yes, the master can be excused.

I've always taken the strict/arbitrary definition of a superzoom to be any zoom with factor of 5 or more.
So, 60-250 = 250/60 = 4.17 = 4/5+ of a superzoom. Certainly 18-300 is more 'super', but if the lesson
is to restrict the options, then 4/5 of a crutch is still a lot of crutch.
I'm just fielding a likely student response, as your order of presentation might have done. Master can
even go out with a 18-300, but that's only because the eye has been trained with a more restricted fair.
