I don't disagree. I think he got burned by being wrong by a number of undersized guys, particularly dmen, and has over-corrected.
Wheeler is the other way. He doesn't appreciate size still matters sometimes.
But the best thing, and what I enjoy about them the most, is the debates between the two. Lists and mocks are easy to consume, but I get the most value from the dialogue.
