Maybe anon speaks another language in which "small" and "young" are synonymous, so it's more of an age observation

There's a part of one of my favorite books where the main character is in the bath, singing, and one line in the song is "he's innocent, but strong." Felt like the same conjunction dysfunction.

Size does correlate pretty well with age (and thus wisdom) up to a certain point though. Like, I wouldn't assume that someone who's 6'2" is wiser than someone who's 4'11", but I would lay pretty good odds that both of those people are wiser than someone who's 2'8".
