What would happen if those gravitational waves were much stronger?

Based on a post by an Astrophysicist my understanding is as follows:

1. Gravitational waves would still be faint to detect irrespective of the size of the Black Holes. BTW aren't black holes meant to be more concentrated rather than bloated?


2. The distance from ground zero is what matters rather than the size of the colliding black holes and even if they were a billion times closer they would still not measure up to 1 mm.
   
   
   3. There wouldn't be significant impact from the waves themselves rather the Black Holes are the ones that would do the damage.
   
   
   4. For the shift to be 1 mm we would require a force enormously stronger than that of a gravitational wave.
