You can put smaller tires on a bike with lots of clearance, just like you can steer a more stable bike aggressively...but you can't do the opposite.
Why? Because bigger tires and more stable geometry are better at regaining traction once it's lost rather than it being a slide-crash situation.

Gravel cycling hack: A rubber band to keep bottles from ejecting on rough descents...especially seat tube mounted bottles. Either take the band off and put it around your wrist for reuse that ride or just let it snap down around the bottle bosses.
