to follow up this:
for #2, its a glm() issue, see attached comparison with INLA and JAGS
in this case data are few and glm() does not produce decent uncertainty
results. this is not 'an error' with glm() but a 'feature', as it only
guaranteed to produce good results in the asymptotic limit. The only
issue is that the definition is circular: one is within the 'asymptotic
limit' when the ``results are good''.
about #1, yes there is an issue about scaling, and INLA assumes a
'reasonable input'.
although it would be possible to internally scale everything, this only
will work for straight forward models. joint models, etc, will be hard
to scale automatically.
