Why does it matter? Beyond a point everyone is repeating what someone else has already said. Scale is highly over rated and over valued.

I agree with you in this instance, but I think it's contextual. Cheap scale is great. Scaling for black swans is generally inadvisable unless it's a critical event in severity as well.

I work at a university, we need to scale up our messaging very fast specifically for shooting alerts. Given that our N of mass shootings is > 0, doing otherwise is not acceptable.
