Yes.

Many organisms in the natural world could not scale exactly as-is to 10x or 100x their normal size with their existing structures. The idea of a slime mold representing the whole company may have once been true a decade or more ago when Google was much smaller and less extended, but the mental model is much like newer people at Google yearning for the "old Google" that never worked there during its earlier days. It's a nice fantasy.
