It doesn’t imply that at all. Best does not mean only.

  The "best" does not work very often though. You won't be able to capture the cathedral interior / room full of people with a non-wide lens because you simply can't back off through the wall. You can't capture birds pictures with a wide angle, because "sneaker method" will just chase them away. You can't just go closer to a person to get a headshot portrait with a wide angle because the perspective will distort their face to an ugly degree. For many years I lived with a fixed focal length camera (Fuji X100) and it "sneaker method" did not work very well.

    > You can't capture birds pictures with a wide angle, because "sneaker method" will just chase them away. True. On the other hand one should perhaps not discount a packet of seeds/bird feeder as a great zoom lens. (ie: compose/pose the scene, not just the shot).
