It's not the size that's the problem, but the shape.
Personaly I like to rationalise it by saying that the spikes are highly sensitive scanning devices used for finding valuable lumps of materials in a massive radius.

Well, he probably has at least one. Tho with modifications to his program he can probably have as many as he'd like...
