For example the size of ice doesn't matter [if surface ice is not a subject]. We even learned, that you need to shake a drink for at least 15 seconds, to ensure the right temperature - but you hardly can overshake a drink - as the dilution and temperature almost keeps exactly the same - even if you attempt to shake a drink for a minute. However the reason, why you should always fill a glass full of ice stays a mystery. You could argue, that a lot of ice chills the drink faster [and as soon as the drink is cold enough, ice tempt to melt on a very slow rate] - you certainly be right.
