I agree. Down with compartmentalized dorkism! There was similar sillines (IMO)
in .space when people wanted to come up with standard rules for defining
different types of spaceships, ignoring the fact that these MOCs by different
builders were coming from completely different sci-fi universes (some based on
official sets, others on TV or movie inspirations, others compltely from the
builders’ heads).
IMO the only time to worry about agreed-upon scale is when people plan on
combining MOCs into some group display, like a moonbase, the ccc standard, or
some LTC’s train layout.
