I'm not saying that the size of a round is completely unimportant; I am saying it's one of the least important factors, at least among the rounds we're discussing.

Hmmm... Where have I heard something like
that before?
Interesting assessment, nobody special, thanks for the time you put into your post.
As far as elasticity, some organs are remarkably elastic, others (the liver and spleen to name a couple) much less so. It's also been documented that a bullet can have an effect on even elastic tissue without coming directly into contact with it. There is a radiologist who posts occasionally on this site who has posted at least one X-Ray of "intimal flap" damage to a blood vessel which the bullet did not touch. It's not terribly likely that the intimal flap would have a dramatic effect on incapacitation, but it is an interesting result.
