disturbedness in relation to pot size

Someone stole this large pot we had sunchokes in.  They dumped the dirt and absconded with the pot which was blue-gray in color.  Ming's greatly disturbed.  "It was a huge pot," he says.

"So if it was a smaller pot, you wouldn't be so disturbed?" I ask.

"Yeah!  Because it was like two feet in diameter!  Maybe it was like two and a half feet."
