Everyone wants to be tall, but they forget that Goliath went down after being hit with a pebble.

With apologies for the pedantry, the sling stone was more likely "from the size of a billiard ball to a tennis ball.” and capable of “slightly less stopping power than a .44 magnum cartridge.”

So yeah, being tall doesn't stop you from going down from the equivalent of being shot in the head..
