text: The last reason to seek advice from a large range of people, is because a disagreement could occur. Looking at advice from another perspective can be a positive experience, but there could always be a chance the advice seeker does not agree with the person giving the advice. A solution to this would be observing how others would react to the situation, and getting an overall view of how they should handle it. There's even a possibility that they rethink what the first person told them because they also disliked the other advice they were given.
