Here "sharpness" is more of the key to penetration and damage vs. bullets (and when is the last time that you "cut" yourself with a bullet?) which rely on energy and expansion to do the job!
Energy is as important in archery, without enough energy driving your super sharp broadhead it probably wouldn't penetrate deep enough to cause enough damage/wound channel. A friend once did a visual demo to prove his case, he dropped an arrow onto a ham and it pierced enough to stick, barely. He shot the same ham using a 36" compound at 10 yds firing at 275 fps and got a nice pass through. So I'd say energy and sharpness go hand in hand.

Again, my question is WHY? There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to be served by using small calibers, or head/neck shots for that matter!
No record books, no recoil savings, no meat savings, NOTHING!
This I agree on, wholeheartly, with prehaps the one exception I'd always make
nly thing available and your kids are hungry.
