I can partially agree with you SCS.
You can see the details of that tree better because of magnification as opposed to your naked eye.
Unless you have a night vision scope, it does not "gather light." That is simply a fancy marketing term to make scopes sound better. Similar to "knockdown power" when referring to a specific cartridge or bullet.
A scope transmits light. A good scope probably transmits about 90-95% of available light on the lowest magnification setting. Losing 5% of your light isn't a big deal but in low light conditions scopes lose clarity, and sometimes develop a bit of a glare, especially if the sun just sat behind you. Of course the better the scope the less these problems arise, but I'd rather have a $70 sight than a $300 or more scope that I'm only going to use short range that isn't going to work any better for me than the sight.
Open sights aren't for everyone and that's ok. But for situations like I mentioned they are definitely worth a try.
