I don't think the scaling concern should be underestimated. Thats a big difference. Its mostly a numbers game.

  It's not just scaling, but also speed. If you sequentially attack a subpopulation (e.g., employees at a company, senior citizens) the eventually news about your attack will spread throughout that network (internal security alert, evening news+daily newspapers+AARP+...). If you attack the entire subpopulation in rapid succession over the course of days or even hours, educational countermeasures become much less effective.
