I find this weird too, question of "miniaturization" should come after theoretical stage is satisfied. Is this coming from a line of thinking where capitalistic sense avoids high costs or strict design sensibility where optimizition is a primary concern? The nuance is tiny but very important.
I agree, but the main reason why "miniaturization" exists is that it can be done in parallel with theoretical developments and allows you to make money off the results (therefore funding more R&D).
Or better yet an agreement with gsm operators were made ahead of the time so they did not charge the "eagle calls", and they were all made to a single cloud-or-whatever-distribution-center.

I don't see how betrayal comes into play, that is the function Kurds chose as mercenaries in Middle East. They essentially play "Red Communist State" vs American brand of "Nationalist" Turkey/Syria.. etc. They did in Iraq and got themselves a semi-independent feudal state, this time Syria held on with Russia and they are getting nothing.
If thing explode and you can't do anything about it then you are clearly in a cargo cult, not under a management that understood the underlaying philosophy; it is a glorified flow chart and you have to come up with your own practices for each step unique to your own process(es).
From this with MFD values it is (not) sensible to say these people want a divorce and seriously don't want to keep the ring and disappointed at the prices they got.
From this it is (an even shakier prediction) to say these were asked to (or tasked with) buy a diamond ring, vehemently opposed it and wants rest of the world how to avoid it.
I "belivie" it is effect of cumulative knowledge from all their trade partners, who when put together is pretty much everyone on the planet at the time, since they were physically at the center of trade routes.
