As if thread started can not take another related direction?

Note that people reposted pictures for your benefit. If you cannot see that, we cannot do much for you.
I didn't start the discussion of 20" vs 16", but Ron certainly posted pictures (without chain on his 16", 10 speed mini velo)
Picture you posted do not show the specific 46T dog on 16" wheel and compact frame

The wheel size is irrelevant as it is a product of the derailleur mechanism which the youtube video above display pretty well.
If it's not a 16" fitted with a 50T cassette, that doesn't apply to Ron's picture, don't you agree?

Then show pictures of your 5 bikes and stop referencing others.

All in all, you cannot provide evidence of your claim that 46T would work with 16" wheel on a compact frame.
Without specific evidence, that is BS.
You keep saying that people made it easy for me, but unable to be accurate to the discussion of 16" wheel & 46T rear cog specific, is so difficult to understand?
All we need to settle the discussion is for Ron to post a picture of his 16" mini velo with chain on the 10-speed 46T rear cog and see if the chain clears the rear tire as pictured prior without chain.
