If you ask someone about their experience and it ended badly then it most likely was not a good idea. But thats the good thing about asking multiple people if one had a bad idea you can always ask someone else to see if their advice was better. If they find someone that had a good outcome to their story that may be a good choice to make. But depending on the outcome you want to get ones advice can be more useful than the other.
