text: A good reason to look for more than one opinion is that people with different pasts lead will believe different things. Often, no two people in a room will have the same experiences or ideas, so asking more than one person allows one to weigh these opinions and choose the best option for their situation. For example, a man who grew up with multiple rowdy older brothers and a woman who had no siblings might have different ideas on how to handle a disagreement between friends. Their experiences had led them to believe different things, but that does not mean that either one was wrong. They just grew up learning different ways to manage situations, leading to them giving different advice. If someone asks multiple people the same question, they are likely to find different ideas from people with different backgrounds.
