I was thinking about the stress on the frame being the same regardless of gearing. Obviously parts before the gearing (bad expression I know) like pedal spindles, or the guilty chainring bolts, would experiance more, the higher the gear. Looking at the situation simplistically that is (my favourite way).
(ED: good point about power peaking over the pedal cycle)
