Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.
If you mean that a 256 KB article has a better chance of propagating than a
1.28 MB article, then I suppose you are correct.
You had better be, since you will need to post five times as many to equal the
same amount of data.
If, as JimB0ss says, it is perfectly OK to post a 45 GB Blu-ray using 1.28 MB
articles (that would be more than 35,000 articles), then why not post DVDs with
35,000 articles?
256 KB wouldn't even be enough. (2000 yEnc)
But if smaller is better, then why not just post 64 KB articles? (5000 yEnc)
Wouldn't that be even better yet? (Your above statement would seem to say that.)
If you intend to draw a line in the sand where the most optimum article size
resides, then please tell us the reasoning you used in making that
determination.
I really would like to do an analysis of your binary posts. Where do you post
and under what 'nym?
