Can we really say this here? Given the error bars in measurements, there are several moons of Jupiter and Saturn of comparable size, such as S/2011 J 1 or Aegaeon. Should this sentence be removed? 134340Goat (talk) 08:44, 8 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Agreed. This statement is simply false; Saturn's unconfirmed moon S/2009 S 1 has a given diameter of 300 meters (as opposed to J12's 1 km), and many asteroid moons are much, much smaller ((136617) 1994 CC's moons Beta and Gamma having respective diameters of 50 and 30 meters).
