I need to quit posting after its time for be in bed and my brain shuts off. You are correct the gear loading isn't a function of the ratio. The real issue with deflection is typically due to having to use a small pinion and large gears. The small pinion is quite flexible as was stated earlier there are practical limitations on how small a pinion can be. I edited my previous post to correct the errors.
