All looks pretty accurate to me mate.

I like how you picked up on this:-

There is a modern trend to express zoom lenses as x8, x12 etc but this tells me nothing except that it zooms a lot or not so much. Tell me that it zooms from 28mm to 200mm and I understand that.
I was showing my camera to some people at work and they asked "how many times zoom is that?"
I couldn't get the point across that my 70-300 is 4.3x and my 18-200 is 11.1x but the 70-300 is longer.
