If you are going to use terms for point gain in an argument at least get it 
right. The "single" in SLR refers to a single taking/viewing lens it has 
nothing to do with the number of elements used in the construct of that lens. 
The term simply differentiate between cameras such as TLRs or cameras with 
auxiliary finders like most PnS and range-finders.

I've no problem with the rest of your argument but for the poor way you seem to 
deliver it and the lack of constraint you display. It's a pity all round.
