Limitations don't make sense

[edit]

The explanation of why you can't use a wedge with a reflecting telescope doesn't make sense. It says the reflector focuses all wavelengths at one point (which it does) and a glass refractor lets all wavelengths through. But I can't see the practical difference between these two situations.
