So the fact that government sets prices instead of the market is less important than the effects of doing so?
If you didn't allow the communist type usurpation in the first place, the effects would be irrelevant, since there would be no effects.
Well send me your scale from most important to least important as soon as you get it worked out and then tell my why it's worth bickering about. Maybe I'll even agree. Stranger things have happened. ;-)
