Last-wordism.
What it meant is, from a statistics point of view (something I do) and with a very bad source of numbers (this board of cruisers), it looks to me that there's no evidence big boats are inherently less likely to be knocked down, or that small boats are more likely to be.
My personal opinion is that safety is at best a minor factor. The real justification for a small boat is cost, and anyone who is not constrained by the dollar figure should choose the larger boat. Which is what I said
in the first place.
