No, it's justifiable that you'd rant about it a lot. Personally, it's one of those things that I'd have to look at a lot more before saying this is a good/bad idea, but I think you know this one better.
Also a lot of the people who say that Ridley couldn't be a playable character really are falling back on basically the same crappy argument (as you explained before). But, really, size seems to be reasonably fluid in a lot of Nintendo franchises (cf. everyone who's mentioning Bowser). So, it's not as unreasonable as I said the first few times. The argument, even if it were more reasonable, has been far too overplayed by this point.
