I should say that your interpretation is reasonable ;-)

But do remember that Jonathan Swift was making an acerbic comment on 
the triviality of the differences between religions; the Big-endians 
represented the Roman Catholics and the Little-endians the Protestants.

I have always taken it that Swift was disdainful of all self-important 
people, politicians in particular.
