Again, basic leverage. Length and where one is holding a weapon increases how much work one has to do to move it. That is why it is clumsy, and if the musketeer closes in with a knife the length makes it hard to maeuver inside that distance. No ammount of training will change the fact that maeuvering a two-handed, seven-foot sword in the same effective range as a knife in damn tricky.

You know what, this fight has ended. No ammount of you arguing will change anything. I suggest we both stop.
