The problem is that this advantage is small in the real world and massive in one's head
The real problem is that some think it's a problem.
It's not problem at all, it's an advantage, it's a hedge.
You are correct for the small percentage of people that can apply the virtues of the magnums.
The problem is that most people don't shoot enough to get competent with one and a large number of people will never be able to no matter how much they shoot. A lot of hunters truly believe their mags are exponentially better killers than a standard cartridge. It's no "hedge" having someone hunt with a magnum that scares them when it's much better to have a gun they can shoot well.
