So your contention is that small shot will reliably penetrate through bone and heavy clothing to a sufficient depth to reach vital organs? Again, factually incorrect.
Of course one could depend on the psychological effect of being shot to stop the aggressor, and admittedly it would most often work. Heck, the vast majority of defensive gun uses are resolved without firing a shot, so you'd most often be ok with a totally unloaded gun. But neither of those facts is germaine to a discussion of the effectiveness of small shot.
