But smaller size increases the chance for event (which might be compensated) but also increases chance for fatal damage to happen.
The radiation in space is not dangerous because it just produces a bit of current that can flip a bit; it is dangerous because it is strong enough to bump a bunch out of their position in silicon crystal, causing permanent damage that will accumulate over time. And when your feature size is starting to measure in <100 atoms it would be easy for single high energy event to break whole core.
