Why would they need a Statute of Secrecy at all, if no one was interacting? I saw my comments filling in history in her last question, rather than present day economics.
But yeah, I can see some of what your saying, especially if you're trying to extend JKR's intentions. I tend not to care what she intended, ever. I take the what canon facts exist and fill in the rest in an interesting way. I loathe "But It's Magic". It's too close to Jabootu's "It's In The Script" for me. To supplant reason with JKR's impulse-driven construction means waiting for her, personally, to layout the specifics of an economy for us. She didn't establish a portable systemic foundation to extend the WW without her hand, so unless I utilize reason to fill in the blanks, I'm can't write fancomics at all.
