I must be a terrible writer.

I am *not* resurrecting the small cell debate.  I am suggesting some simple 
science, and I am merely addressing *one small aspect* of the question.

No point in debating.  We have proven that debating proves nothing except 
who can be the most persistent, devious and persuasive arguer.

Debating is more about rhetoric and debating technique than fact.  Science, 
on the other hand tries to reveal fact.

I'm advocating some simple science

I'm suggesting that an experiment should be designed and executed to test 
that central claim, namely that bees can be downsized and that the effect 
persists.

NOTHING ELSE.
