good / crapola resolution - light

Hey could this be true ( I just thought of it):

My digital cameras really suck indoors because of poor lighting ( I don't
want to use a flash).

I always shoot on Max resolution, because hey, what did I get a camera for,
if not to take pictures.

But then one day i left my SD card at home, and had no choice but to switch
to "crapola" resolution in order to keep taking a bunch of pictures.

But lo and behold, a lot of the crapola pictures came out with better
lighting than I expected.

Could there be some relationship between lighting and crapola resolution?

Thanks for reading.
