text: Asking more than one person can help you get more background information than just one person will be able to provide. If you ask just one person than their information may be biased and have not as many facts as opinions, but if you ask more than one person than you will have a better chance of getting more facts than opinions. If its about something on the news, social media, and/or its a rumor being spread you can get both/all sides of the story before you form your opinion on that certain topic. Plus if you ask people who have done it before your information will be more accurate than someone will equal experience or less experience than you.
