Absolute nonsense. Size is quantative not qualitative and not part of most
definitions.

If we go by size alone, it probably could be said that Rinkytink is too
small to be a man!!!

By most definitions bonsai are not trees.

Why not? They meet all the criteria except size, and as I said before,

Size is part of most definitions, and bonsai are well short of the minimum
required by those definitions. One might say that a requirement for a
bonsai
is that it must be too small to be a tree.
