Yes, but my point was that those are so rare.  If you decide to use the
Spelljammer in a battle you've hopefully planned for this.  And not
only is the ship now this big, but it's gravity plane and air envelope
extend an equal distance to its dimensions in every direction!  Things
get really complex fast.  Of course, reducing scale to that low makes
sense occasionally, like when you're trying to determine just where the
air envelope/gravity plane's effects end.
