If someone says PRs need to be small, and I say here are some examples of huge PRs that I think are good, do you think these are still bad? That is not remotely invalid.
Where did grey-area say they need to be small. As in an absolute? They didn't, you just assumed that's what they meant and then went off the rails in your response.
The first 4 words? "Just ban large prs." A ban is pretty absolute language. He would have banned my example PRs clearly. Or maybe he wouldn't which is why I asked about them as examples. Because that is the obvious follow up. If you ban large PRs what are you losing? You're loosing big swing aggressive efforts to make sweeping progress.
