FX lens on DX body

...........The reason people will say a 50mm on a crop-sensor is actually a 75mm is because they want to confuse you...............

I don't think it has anything to do with wanting to confuse others. I think it's because they transpose the manufacturer's claim of "FOV equivilent to 75mm" as "50mm on a crop sensor is a 75mm lens" due to ignorance.

ignorance of the law is no excuse!

Maybe this will help.

Wow, that's a great posting.

It also showed me that the D600 IS NOT the D7000 body with a bigger sensor. Maybe in electronics only but not the body itself.

There is actually another difference that people are unaware of. You can easily figure it out by using your zoom lens vs standing closer physical to your subject. The difference will become all the more apparent to you if you do this trick with a bigger difference in zoom.

It's called zoom with your feet.
