I agree. I use sans for smaller text precisely because it's more readable at smaller sizes.
Also the higher the resolution of screen, the MORE flexibility there is. Serif can be poor below 100 dpi.
It must be a personal preference.
Studies on Sans vs Serif are inconclusive, when the print medium/screen is good enough. People seem to find what they are used to easiest for reading for long periods.
Also all of it only applies to Western/Latin/Roman alphabetic text. It might apply to Cyrillic. Not sure about Hebrew, Arabic, Thai, Korean and Hindi. Clueless about Chinese, Japanese and all non-alphabetic script.
