A fair enough analysis, but I don't feel it provides a good excuse in the
long run.  The example is there (i.e. the notion is not naive), the rest is
a matter of logisitics (though a monstrously sizeable one, as you note).

But then again, perhaps cultural differences between the U.S. and Britain
are significant enough to make it less workable.
