Re: 4" vs. 6" vs. 8" wheels. Advantages?
Yes, I understand that more = more, that's not what I was asking at all.
My point was that accepting a statement as truth without understanding the magnitude of the effect, or knowing how much the effect applies, is not a good idea. Especially when "conventional wisdom" has all of those things.
It seems like a lot of people are parroting back stuff they heard from some guy instead of relying on observations and data. How is that good engineering?
