I meant "Big Crank" in the large overpowering mega-corp, conspiratorial, boogie-man forcing 1 of 3 sizes to the masses sense. Not the long crank arm sense. Hence the "wink" emoji indicating jest.
And yes, you are correct. Longer crank arms on a properly proportionally sized bike would force a higher bottom bracket. I once got my eccentric in upside down so the bb was "low" instead of "high" when I was running a 175mm crankset. The pedal strike launched me into a juniper bush & I had a big welt on my thigh from the top tube. It sucked.
