Excellent article on the subject. This is a concept I've experienced and have been aware of, but had only accepted and never thought about the reasoning. After reading the first paragraph, it hit me, because it makes perfect sense. If you want consistent extract efficiency, your total water volume has to be in the same proportion to the size of the grain bill.
[EDIT] You'd think this would be an easy thing for brewing software to take into account...
