I wouldn’t take it so literally, and I’m not trying to put the world on my work table—just casting a meme upon the waves.
Something like this “scaling up” occurred when in the late 1770s and early 1780s, former colonies tried many models of state constitution, and the results were, according to some historians, beneficial to the design of the U.S. constitution. Maybe some 1775-6 pamphleteer could be said to have been somewhat in my position when he wrote “here’s something we might try...” (and maybe he was ignored and I will be too).

Oh, no problems with that. But the ocean is vast… :-)
