I dont disagree with what you are saying, but I think its woth mentioning a lot of people speculate that Messi might get an advantage from his growth deficiency, he has a low center of gravity which can help shifting momentum (not to take anything away from the best player in the world)

Peter Cech is nearly a foot taller. England international striker Peter Couch is more than a foot. Christiano Ronaldo's stature is in between. The Brazilian great "Garrincha" - aka Anjo de Pernas Tortas - lived with physical deformity.
What they have in common is having enjoyed the opportunity to express their unique abilities and the will to develop them to an elite level. A high red blood cell count won't make a Trinidadian into a world class cross country skier.
