If outlet size was naively scaled isometrically with the height of buildings, then a typical electrical outlet in the Empire State Building would have to be more than fifty times larger than the ones in your house, which means it would be more than ten feet tall and three feet wide rather than just a few inches. And as in biology, basic terminal units, such as faucets and electrical outlets, are not reinvented every time we design a new building regardless of where or how big it is.
