How important is it that everyone does thing X the same? If my neighbor does thing X different, how much does that affect me? (Differentiates Free from Vote/Rule)

How knowledgeable is each person about thing X? Is it something everyone has the ability to form an opinion on, or do you have to be an expert to even have an opinion?(Differentiates Free/Vote from Rule)

This gives us the 4 patterns:Different OK + Everyone Has Knowledge: F > V > RSame Needed + Everyone: V > F/RSame + Specialist only: R > V > FDifferent OK + Specialist only: F/R > V (Some people prefer to have the "best" answer, others prefer to make their own choice, no-one wants to be forced into something by a bunch of idiots)
