Question about Life-Sized Muppets

Hi there. I would like you guys to settle an argument I am having with a friend.

The argument is about "life size muppets". I say that a "life size muppet" would be a muppet according to the standards and specifications of the original muppet itself. But my friend Bill insists that a "life size muppet" would be the size of the animal it represents and would NEVER be actual muppet size. For example Miss Piggy would probably be much bigger as in a real pig, while Kermit the Frog, as he is a frog, would be quite a bit smaller. He says that Kermit in his regular size would be too big and would end up blocking the kids.

Bill simply refuses to listen to me when I tell him he is crazy. Then he just tells me I'm not a "real" muppet fan, which upsets me very much. I think he's the one who is not the real fan. I would like to have your opinion.

Thank you.
