text: If you receive several different opinions it could help you make a good decision based on your situation. For example if you only ask one person for advice on how to study for a big test, but instead of giving you good advice on how to study that person accidentally gave you bad advice and you end up failing that test. But if you asked 3 different people for advice and two people recommend one similar way to study, and the other person recommended a completely different way to study then chose the most recommended way to study for the test because most likely those to people used the same strategies and did really well.
