I would suggest that when buying rutabagas in a village you should be much more concerned with interpersonal and social factors, and much less with whether you can rent or timeshare a rutabaga, or, say, with its power options and repair costs.
So? Assign zeroes to these points in some kind of score you keep when reading the list, or embrace the metaphor (can I rent or timeshare a rutabaga? That is, I have some rutabagas this week because my mom is coming to visit and she loves this mysterious vegetable, and than next week I give some rutabaga seed or whatever to the kindly farmer, or maybe just show the rutabaga to my mom and boast, in passing, of my gardening skills and then return it to the kindly farmer on the quiet side… Or, what are the rutabaga’s power options and repair costs—that is, does cultivating them enrich the soil or deplete it, and how long can one grow them in the same spot, and do they get hit with weird parasites that would mess with my glorious potatoes and I will end up spending money and time trying to set things right -)
(Also, I don’t feel like this is a productive discussion to have:(, since if you consider just one place where you buy rutabagas, it is strictly a subset of you considering n places, for which Elo’s list totally applies.)

It’s not particularly productive for rutabaga-buying purposes. It might be productive for thinking about what matters and what doesn’t. Matching the effort to the expected change in outcome, y’know...
Partly, yes. To preserve one’s sanity.

Do note where we started :-D
