Center of gravity & moment of inertia

Dear forum,
while standing, spreading your legs helps your stability because you have a wider base.
but doesn't spreading your legs lowers your center of gravity, thus shortening the distance (r) from your center of gravity to the ground, and therefore lowering your moment of inertia = making you easier to rotate?

The two seems to me to counteract. is that right?
