text: Another reason why it is important to seek multiple opinions is because some people can have a very heavy bias on certain subjects. Picture this, you're thinking about going out and doing something so you decide to ask a friend what they think about it. They so happen to have a bad experience with it so obviously their opinion on it is not going to be a very good one because they have a bias. Just because somebody else had a bad experience doesn't necessarily mean it will go that way for you, but also same thing goes for a good experience someone else may have had.
