I actually love the math. I think it's fun to play with for rangefinding and downrange zeroing mostly.
It's important to understand that reticle subtension is inversely proportional to magnification, so as long as the power ring is calibrated relatively correct (most are close), as magnification INCREASES reticle subtension DECREASES, and vice versa. And yes, it is an important concept to understand...IMO.
