> effect a telephoto has

They're saying that it is not a property of the lens, but rather of the perspective of the scene viewed from a distance. You'd get the same effect using any focal length lens, taking the shot from the same location, and cropping appropriately.

Perhaps in contrast to depth of field which is a property of the lens.
