I'm afraid your hypothesis is unproven and as a result your conclusions are totally incorrect (in my opinion). I would rather be in a large 747 type structure in any wake encounter than any smaller one like MD-80 size. You infer bits are more likely to break off on a larger aeroplane because of the inertia- I think you will find the strength of the structure is greater. You would have us all flying around in Beech 18 size aeroplanes. Perhaps you could do more to stress it is personal opinion rather than try and present it as 'fact'.
