The fallacy you're under is that these things are 'big' or 'small', which implies they're not actually ideal. That leads to hyperbole like this where the proportions are too extreme.

Tell me about it. There's a meme among artists where they ask for proportions to be bigger and bigger until the thing in question takes up the entire page. You're like "Are you sure this is what you want" and they're like "Hmm you think you can make it juust a little bigger?"

It's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5eaDhCVNJU if anyone ever asks for something to be made more naturally proportioned.
