Regarding Size and Strength, I keep coming back to a possibly analogous description with @Caleb's "Are Revolvers Relevant" video.

Is size and strength valuable to the untrained (not going to be trained) because you got nothing else, and then valuable again for the advanced practitioner who knows how to take advantage of those attributes? Size and strength is used in lieu of technique, which makes it a negative for the vast middle.
I don't know if this is at all true. It's just something I've been
rolling (snicker) around in my mind.
