# Why low error indicates better model when only one feature is used?

In this lecture, starting from first minute, there is an example of features for housing application. Let's say number of features is 1. I understand why lowest error indicates better model, but why lowest error indicates a better model in this case? A feature is just a number, so if for example #bedrroms=1 and #bathrooms=1, so the RSS value should be the same when I use #bedrroms feature or #bathrooms feature, right? And if those features have different values, I'll get different RSS values. But, does this mean that the lowest is better? I hope I explained myself well.

A feature is just a number, so if for example $$\#bedrroms=1$$ and $$\#bathrooms=1$$, so the RSS value should be the same when I use #bedrroms feature or #bathrooms feature, right?
For example, we have an instance from our data set of house prices, and an instance has the feature values $$\#bedrooms=1$$ and $$\#bathrooms=1$$. If we were to only consider this one instance for training our model, you are right in expecting that selecting any one of them will result in the same RSS. However, we're not just considering one instance, but many, and in most cases they have different values for different features.
