text: The final reason why seeking multiple opinions can help someone make a better choice is that one of the people you may ask could have a history in the subject. In other words, some people may know more about things then others. For example if you are asking your piers about what type of car you should buy and one of them used to sell cars for Honda. They suggest that you should purchase a Honda Acord because of the reasonable price, the great gas millage, the long lasting and high quality fabric that the seats are made of, and the surplus of trunk space. I would most likely trust the guy who used to sell the car versus anyone else.
