Mark Van Vugt found evidence that when short males received clues that they were physically outcompete by other males, that a Napoleon complex tended to kick in. If that were true, couldn't a guy with a Napoleon complex just destroy the evidence of it by trying to outcompete another male opponent the same way? And wouldn't that make everything a little bit darker and more difficult to determine who had a Napoleon Complex and who didn't (male or female, since his study wasn't conducted on females) ?
Napoleon Complex is two words anybody can choose to describe anybody else with, regardless of their physical size, strength, ability, intelligence, or any other attribute. I can do it, you can do it, it's just talk.

An insanity that usually affects people of small stature. People with napoleonic complex are easily intimidated by tall, muscular people. To make themselves feel 'bigger', they in turn pick on taller, muscular people.
Also called Short Man Syndrome.
Napoleonic Complex was named after the french emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, who overcompensated for his short stature by waging war, often for no reason (???). French people seem to be the main victims of this condition, as Nicolas Sarkozy appears to have it as well.

Angie, who was 6 feet tall at the age of 12, was frequently made fun of by pretty much everyone under the height of 4'11''. to make the most of the situation, she informed the shorties that their anger wasn't their fault, they were simply victims of the Napoleonic Complex.

Anybody can say anybody else has one, since it's not based on size, strength, ability, intelligence, or any other attributes.
Guy 1- You got a Napoleon complex man.
Guy 2- No, no, it's you that has the Napoleon complex, not me.
Guy 1- I've studied this stuff, and I assure you, it is you that has the Napoleon complex.
Guy 3- Both of you shut the fuck up, you're both idiots with small penises.

a debilitating, neurological disorder affecting only men from the tiny hamlet deep inside middle earth. this scenic little village is known as The Shire.
the napoleonic disorder might have connections dating back to the infamous "three-meter island" nuclear meltdown that nearly wiped out every hobbit in the shire. before the cataclysmic explosion the shire looked like a demilitarized zone in detroit in the 1980's. the hobbit population wasndropping at an alarming rate until the nuclear power plant meltdown that changed the landscape from ghetto to garden. and it ultimately caused an huge population spike that unmistakably saved the hobbit from extinction. of course no one could have known that the tallest hobbit to ever live since the nuclear fallout has been the ex-adult film star willow. since his public execution over 67% of all male hobbits have some symptoms of the napoleonic nature that warped and twisted every hobbit since then to be quite ornery and most are born dangerously close to near-autistic levels.
this mutation can distort the hobbits frontal lobe, which curiously lies in their ample posterior. most hobbits afflicted by this will actually believe that he is in fact FOUR FEET tall and relevant. symptoms are exponentially compounded by the imbibing of ale and lager the smoking of pipe weed is the only known cure as it stabilizes the serotonin levels in the brain.

Sarah Brady was inclined to throw Annies african purse across the room due to her napoleon complex. This is why she threw a mirror at Julies forehead.
