Can you make a small block accelerate quicker than a big block? Yep. Can you make a big block accelerate quicker than a small block? Yep. But there can't be a blanket statement made that says the smaller engine is always going to be zippier.
All true until you get to that last sentence Brent, no one has made a blanket statement that says the smaller engine is always going to be zippier, show me where?

Take 1000 BBs and 1000 SBs of comparable build, more SBs will be zippier than BBs in that population of 2000, ergo a general rule of thumb.
