In summary, "small" in the context of this statement refers to something smaller than average or expected. An example of something considered "small" but not "THAT small" could be a smartphone. The size of something can impact its functionality, with smaller objects being more portable but potentially having less storage or power. "Small" is a relative term in this statement, and something can still be considered "small" and effective, such as a small tool or device.
