We revisit the well known H i size-mass relation of galaxies with an unprecedented large sample of over 500 galaxies (Wang et al. 2016). We find that the relation and the scatter about the relation do not depend on the galaxy type, optical luminosity or H i richness. It indicates a fundamental unrecognised mechanism that drives the distribution of H i in different galaxies.
