I am unconvinced by this. There are economies of scale that you're denying yourself by acting like so.

Imagine having an Intel broken up, for example.

I said audit. Not straight away splitting them up. The audit should assess if the monopoly is a bigger destruction of value than the economy of scale is a production of value from the perspective of society.
