No, my point is just the opposite. There are more important considerations than the caliber.

And your point is true, but irrelevant. The comparison was about caliber size, not placement or bullet type or barrel length or revolver vs semi or anything else. The discussion was caliber vs caliber, in which case any other points are simply distracting from the main point.

The comparison was about caliber size

No, the wording was:

4) big holes beat fast bullets

It was not just a caliber comparison, but rather a statement that caliber was more important that velocity.

Smaller bullets at higher speed and delivering similar damage while giving more bullets to fire. When comparing cartridges that deliver similar damage, I would say carrying more of them is important.
