Don't remember hearing an argument along those lines, but the world being "too connected" in 1914 would be only partially true, since the Great Powers were in frequent commercial competition among themselves.

It's simply not on the same level as today. Germany during WW1 didn't have any trade by sea for example.

Maybe. I still think saying that nobody is stupid enough to start a war is a recipe for disaster.
