text: For my final reason on why multiple opinions are important is, to help you form your own opinion. This is most useful in debates or where there are two sides of the matter. If you only look from one opinion on one side, you are only getting one half on the situation, depending who you're talking to you may be only getting a quarter of the story. Its really important to get more than one opinion for this because you want to be factually correct, say you're writing an article of the political process and whether its good and effective, or bad and ineffective. If you only ask one person on why he thinks its good or bad, you will only get one half of it, and if you base your entire article on one source, it is, without a doubt, factually incorrect. Its especially important to seek more than one opinion because it will give you a stronger understanding of the matter.
