No,I know it can seem counter-intuitive, but as I said, the resistance is inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area, so as the wire gets thicker, the resistance goes down.
Think about it like a given volume of water flowing through a pipe - the same amount of water would meet less physical resistance flowing through a fatter pipe than through a narrower one. It's a similar situation with the flow of electrons.

Damn it!I'm losing my physics knowledge. I really should know these things.
