OK, so I'm no quantum physicist, but it appears to me that this guy is equating uncertainty about where a particle can be, with the particle's size.

I get the feeling -- perhaps unwarranted -- that this definition of "size" does not equate to the dimensions of the particle itself.

Can somebody set me straight?

Well, I view it philosophically, viz:
the Pythagorean says, "all is number", I say...
  1. How many finger am I holding up?
  2. What about letters?
  3. Must have been a big number that you smoked.
  4. What's the number for 9-1-1?
