text: First of all, asking multiple people can result in an accurate piece of advice. Asking just a single person can lead to poor results, if they are wrong. If the answer to the advice is major or life-changing, asking only one person can limit the chance of getting true advice. Everyone has different opinions on things, and if they ask only one person for advice, that can lead to conflict. Getting more than a single persons advice will most likely produce the most accurate responses.
