Gerold Dobler has been a birder and nature observer, and a dedicated user of bins since his childhood.
I really don't want to make the guy sound like a super hero but his birding skills are very impressive and he definitely has opinions about what the view should be like for nature observations.

The question is open to EACH of us.
Being a master birder gives one no more special knowledge on optics than being a DJ gives one in depth knowledge of the construction and technical performance of microphones. If they have their heads on straight, it's just a tool.
The proof lies with each observer.
