    For anyone curious, yes, there are exceptions for human contact, but mostly due to human physiology. More venomous does not mean more potent.

    The rule could be considered true in that larger pincers hold longer allowing weaker venom to take action in prey.

    But for humans, we react differently to different venom, so some scorpions with larger pincers can be more dangerous.
