Perhaps I should have stated "all else equal", does that satisfy it? It was a small statement anyways. In the end, if we say torque/speed needs to be determined and set via the gear ratio then there is no reason to even choose between 2 different size wheels other than possible field components; so why even argue this at all?
The power transmission from motor to rotation against the floor is one great system that should hardly be considered internally modular for the purposes of determining the benefits of acceleration vs speed. As an example, wheels that have most of their mass away from the center can adversely affect either variable just as much as a bad gear ratio. It all has to be considered.
