This reply has made more sense than your others.

The use of the word "generally" should have been used from square one, instead of it being an open and shut case that all small blocks will accelerate faster than all big blocks, which is really the original premise, and then it all snowballed from there.

*My* original premise is that you shouldn't assume such, due to the fact that a lot of big blocks have lighter rotating assemblies than small blocks, and due to the fact that there is certainly more to it than just rotational inertia and momentum. The rotating assembly may be super-light, but if you have the highest tension piston rings out there, or there is considerable reversion in the system, low compression ratios, poor exhaust, heavy flywheel weight, etc., then it's not going to help you.
