You're right, Bosmer aren't short. Lorewise, the tree-sap folk are actually the tallest known race. So tall in fact, that they exceed the height of White Gold, Orichalc, Snow-Throat, even Walking Brass, and therefore the very upper limits the Mythic itself. This puts undue thermo-interpretive strain on the Aurbo-optic fibers of the local telehermaneutic grid connecting Bosmeri entities to other sentients, causing them to be perceived as smaller, when really they are several thousand times more massive.
It's a common misconception, really.
