This seems like just a basic restatement of Clayton Christiansen's Innovator's Dilemma without ever invoking it directly. Sure, when you pick the cases of when small beats big, small beats big every time tautologically. But you also have cases of when big stays big over many generations and takes on all comers. In reality, almost every time small meets large, small loses. The difference is, small just needs to win once, big needs to win every time.
