Don't think it was I who asked the question about brain size to you, however, we would all be interested in seeing the post. Kindly try to summarize or quote a paragraph about it proving your point to make it easier for those reading this thread.

Gladly....
As you might imagine, larger animals have larger brains. However, this does not mean that animals with larger brains are smarter than animals with smaller brains. For example, a larger brain is necessary to control larger muscles in larger animals and a larger brain is necessary to process more sensory information from the skin in larger animals - this has nothing to do with intelligence.
My Brain is Bigger than Your Brain
A rather simplistic explaination, but it's a start.
