Interesting indeed... I suppose I had thought of that as something a
bit separate from recommendation. You're really just giving, what, the
top-rated items or something? perhaps something more appropriate given
the domain. Either way it feels like something the caller can come up
with outside the context of a recommendation engine. I had thought it
less surprising for the engine to say nothing when it can't actually
recommend something meaningfully.

I suppose DataModel could expose getTopRatedItems or something?
