No, you aren't sure.

But that doesn't keep you from bring this quite-likely irrelevant and uselessly-vague point!

You are implying that they are worse (see prior quote).

You should be embarrassed by this statement. Twice the volume? Great way to exaggerate things! Volume isn't the relevant measurement. It's also equally easy to imagine that the contact would have been worse.

No one here can tell whether or not the OP would have faired better or worse in this particular instance. People who imply otherwise are full of it.
