I'm not really sure how a small block size prevents centralisation?

  An increase in blocksize means an increase in propagation delay. Too much delay and miners who are closest to the most recent block get a head start mining the next block. Mining is suppose to be a lottery, not a race. Research done on the matter shows that for each kb above the current 1mb block, 80ms of delay propagation is added.

    Couldn't/Wouldn't the difficulty be adjusted down in that case so the blocks are mined faster?
