Good point. This goes against the intuition of some
people who think what is bigger should be the boss,
period.
One can think of it like a compass needle. It works on
the magneticism of Earth itself. However put a small
magnet next to it, and it will override the entire
planet! It is thoughtworthy.
I suppose the "size" in this matter isn't the size
alone but also the *proximity*, just like with Emacs
major and minor modes, the minor mode being closer to
the user...
