I think it refers not to large, organic cations, but to small, inorganic ones

CH3COO-
Anion of week acid

Was not enough to change your assumption?
just asking

I'm sure this is indeed the case, nevertheless: the hydrazinium cation is basic, inorganic and small...

What about (as mentioned in another post) [Al(H2O)6]3+  ::equil:: [Al(OH)(H2O)5]2+ + H+? Does [Al(OH)(H2O)5]2+ count as a basic cation in this equilibrium? (It can also be acidic.)
