It's not unsubstantiated. The federalism is a well known expensive hindrace for any progress. Everyone doing their own shit also means everyone has to fight it out with everyone on how they work together. There are good reasons for this, but the price is also obvious.
Thinking the number of federal states is equivalent with an efficiency factor is utterly unsubstantiated. There may be a correlation (or not, I don't claim anything here), but `efficiency_gain == federal states before / federal states after` is pure fantasy.
Is it, though? What’s so different between Thuringia and Saxony that they both need separate administrations?
Why is it, that when you move between states, your tax office needs to print out your records, send them to your new state's office, only for some poor soul to type them into their system because each state uses a different system without any common exchange format? Make it make sense!
Yes it is a Milchmädchenrechnung. I do not want to argue whether fusing states makes sense or not. This isn't even a moral condemnation of the original poster. All I say is that the equation `efficiency_gain == federal states before / federal states after` is completely made up.

And there are hundreds of electrical grid operators with different hardware requirements. In my eyes efficiency looks different.
