Yeah, for sure. There's an element of failing to grasp basic concepts of physics here, intertwined with a psychology of not wanting to feel small I suppose.

I tried to explain to my sister that you don't actually see more of the road when you sit higher up, it's just that the road takes up a larger portion of your field of view. You actually see less of the road because the part directly around your car (the most important part) is obscured. She thought I was twisting words and got angry. If we lived in the USA her 150 cm ass would be driving an F-150.
