Yes it's wrong.

Save £3900 by buying it here http://www.hiltonphoto.co.uk/products/details/42463.html

For one of those lenses, you'd need to be a)stupid b)stupidly rich or c) both a+b.

As above, isn't an error.

And as Jaffa said, f/2.8 upto 500mm is just unreal.

No, it's for wildlife photographers, for example, who can't get close to their subject without either scaring it off or being eaten.

Most the people who buy that lens will be making a lot of money per shoot to justify it.

Why not just cut out the middle man, and inject a mixture of lard, antifreeze and syphilis into your veins?
