Donald Rumsfeld's contributions to scientific thought are greatly misunderstood, and I think incorrectly attributed here.
A true Donald Rumsfeld moment would be deciding that
you do aero testing with the scale model you have, not the scale model you might want or wish to have at a later time.
Or perhaps it would be phrased
Absurd. We don’t need nearly 1:1. Not that large. Certainly no more than 1/15.
Whichever way you apply him, the result is an abject failure, but the exact reasons why can be fascinating.
