Being big is not always an advantage. Years ago I came across a very
interesting paper called "On Being the Right Size". I can't remember
the author, it was in an anthology of papers on either mathematics or
physics published by _Scientific American_ magazine. Maybe a web
search would find it.

It can be found in The World of Mathematics, Volume 2, pages 952 ff.
"On Being the Right Size" by J.B.S. Haldane. Haldane, J. B. S. (March
1926). "On Being the Right Size". Harper's Magazine.
