Your argument does not suggest that there is a problem with the commonly used conception of scale, but rather with how it is combined with tractability and neglectedness. Thus, it does not support the claims made in the main piece.
I disagree on both counts. I think my comment is recapitulating the core claims of the main piece (and am pretty confident the author would agree).
In my comment I mention the total S/T/N framework only because MaxDalton suggested that when properly viewed within that framework, the concerns with ‘scale’ Joey raised, don’t apply. I argued that that Joey’s concerns apply even if you are applying the full S/T/N framework, but I don’t think they apply only if you are applying the full framework.

OK, but then the issue is problem individuation, not the conception of scale used.
