text: Getting more opinions from different people is helpful for making a good choice because it gives you more options by default. For example if you ask multiple people for their opinion, you'd most likely get more than one option to choose from. But say you got one opinion from one person. That leaves you with one option which most often wouldn't help your situation greatly. As you can see from the example, having multiple options is always better than one because there could be more choices to choose from, and it could give you ideas for how you want to handle your situation.
