In a total eclipse, the small moon blocks the giant sun because of where it stands. Position can beat size.

Position can beat size. Something small standing in the right place can cover something enormous, not because it grew but because of where it happens to be, and that is most of what advantage looks like in practice. A smaller team wins on positioning. A quieter person changes a room by being next to the right person at the right moment. Where you stand is often more adjustable than what you are.

Stop trying to be bigger this week and try being better placed. Sit at the front, ask the question early, stand where the ball is going.
