text: By getting many opinions, you can understand things better. For instance, in Science class you may have been told to draw a conclusion based on a series of tests. This is similar to asking multiple people for their advice, each person's piece of advice is a trial and by running many "tests" you can come up with a good opinion. Some of the trials may yield different results compared to other trials, but all of the trials will eventually lead you to a conclusion. So by understanding how others perceive a problem, you can come up with a solid conclusion based on their opinions.
