Notice I said "To some people". You understand physics and leverage apparently. Science. Many in the USA do not understand, nor choose to believe science. Leverage around a rotational sphere is apparent to you and I, and almost any cyclist who has gone over the handlebars. Also, 29er wheels have overtaken 26" wheels. Larger wheels make the bumps smaller! And visa-versa.
