Evolution doesn't HAVE to always go from small to large or large to small. It will go with whatever is most advantageous at the time of that particular population.

Wouldn't that depend on whether the original idea was based on evolution or the idea that higher oxygen levels would in themselves cause animals to grow larger ? Crashfrog's idea is a perfectly sensible test of the latter idea.
