I agree with your reasoning about aether "amping" people up physically, but you would only benefit from dropping condescension from your rebuttals. Do you really want to open that can of worms? Because there's very little chance anyone here can honestly say they "know" something about actual combat.
Further you go on to draw an axiom from a sport that that has defined rules and restrictions and is pretty darn far from "actual combat", which has nothing of the sort.
Finally, when you throw weapons into the equation size begins to matter a whole lot less and technique can definitely prevail - though I do agree that the Lalafell size disadvantage is far, far greater than the comparatively smaller differences in human sizes and that's why I agree that we need some sort of magical explanation. (Also the whole blocking attacks from giant monsters thing)
