Of course they world, just as a Frenchman talks up the benefits of national champions as a way to compete in the global market. :) I would point out that historical societies that A-C theory studies, like medieval Iceland, the Celts, or the Wild West, tended to have few external threats and eventually lost out to other models of governance. Historical performance has to count for something.
