I agree that potholes (as opposed to your chasms) would be less of an issue if I was using a larger wheel, but at any reasonable speed I don't fall into them even with the small wheel.
I do think speedo's on to something, though. We may not mean the same things when we say "pothole."
In the context of this conversation, my mind goes immediately to the kind my 20" wheels
would be more likely to have trouble with. (And as any heavy traffic commuter knows: Sometimes you just have to eat the pothole.)
