I remember you writing this before, it made little sense to me then. The only difference I can think of would be to the rate the chain wears as the engagement would be spread over a different amount of chain. Surely 20/10 is the same as 40/20 is the same as 80/40. Maybe if you scale up massively you have rotating weight issues involved, but with smaller differences in chainring size and the fact that you can get lighter bigger chainrings, is it an actual thing?
