I didn't take the decision to scale down Anders' house, but as insane as that idea is, I think it's better than not scaling it down.
IRL, his home is smaller than my mother's house, portrayed in btehous1.ldr. But he built it in a totally different scale, so it would look more than twice as big if using the same scale.
As much as I appreciate your fuzzy logic approach before hard-boiled stick-to-the-protocol attitude, I wouldn't recommend guessing that it's a part becuse it contains scaled-down objects.
If you like to build a mixed model with standard LEGO parts and LEGO Modulex together, the Modulex section shall be scaled down by the factor 0.625.

Also there can be a comical, commonly used basic cartoonic animation effect in stretching and shrinking objects.

(I also used a scaled up B\3005.dat's to build a complete house wall in my heavily simplified versions of the buildings in Datsville Lite. But after purchasing a more powerful PC and finally surrendered to Win7, I trashed the Lite version as it took so much more time to produce than the real version.)
The bottom line is that scaled objects may for various reasons appear not only in parts.
