Differences in scale are a great reason to throw data out. Past experience gives us lessons for similar cases. The onus is on anybody using a model to ensure the use case is similar to the training data. The US and Iceland are nations but it’s unreasonable to get hung up on that similarity of category. The nation is not a label for grouping economies that are comparable. I don’t like bailouts either, for the record. My gripe is only with the scale question.
