No. scope(LL) < scope(ULA) and scope(LL) < scope(GUA) but scope(ULA) ? scope(GUA). That is, any particular ULA may or may not be global in scope.

The problem with admin scope is that it’s not a definitional scope, but rather an operational scope. Which may be the problem—we are using the term “scope” when that’s not specific enough—we could mean “by definition” or “in practice” scope, but we aren’t making that clear.  Of course, these are illustrative terms—I’m not saying we should switch to this terminology.
