larger structure sizes can help against spontaneous bit flips, i think. at the cost of consuming more energy for each calculation step.

    Indeed, but smaller structures are less likely to get hit in the first place, it's a bit of a trade off.

    Also, error correcting memory and storage are things, but at the end of the day, that is just more/larger structures, which is a roundabout way of saying you're correct.
