What’s wrong with asking for multiple opinions and comparing notes ?
90% of the time, People like to argue against Experience ....based on their feelings
Problem with that is "feelings Lie" (same as being blinded by love, / emotions)
The intelligent know, for a fact
You cannot make emotional based decisions in battle , in chess, or in investing.
Just because a person has a really good "Feeling" about a stock for example.....
Don't mean chit, and they will most often loose their money.
Once emotions come into the equation, such as in battle, pissing a person off
all calm logic and reasoning go out the window,
all hope is lost for that person being enlightened or taught.

Many people use "Gap Theory" to fill in the blanks of what they don't know and how they FEEL,
something SHOULD work, then fill in the gaps with something that
"Makes sense to them" with no real facts or experience to back up their stance or assertion.
They will ignore facts, math, logic and experience.
Then keep asking others until they find an "OPINION" that agrees with their FEELINGS
then come back and argue with you
instead of just listening and doing as instructed by someone who has actual experience in the subject

My experience is this:
You could be Christopher Columbus and have charted the Best Route to the Americas
Then a person asks you "Whats the best way to the new americas?"
And you tell them....
And people will turn around start off a complete different direction and say
"Ya know what, I think I'm gonna go this way instead, but thanks for the advice"
When I learn or research something for myself, I think it's best to go to others who have already layed the groundwork and accept their knowledge and experience. Before I veer off on my own.
(Yet other People think they are going to reinvent the wheel, instead of just accepting others have already done the research and have all the experience possible in "The Wheel"
--------------------------------------------------------
Within Psychology there is a phenomenon called the "Dunning Kruger effect"
Which explains much of how people think in this generation.
--------------------------------------------------------
People need to learn how to throw all emotion out the window when making educated decisions.
When asking for multiple "Opinions" gauge how many people assert their stance based on emotion.
like picking a favorite caliber, usually is bases on sentimetal reasons/ brings back memorites etc.
-------------------------------------------------------
Or if you try to Help a person do something more accurate, efficiently or quicker
They will retort with "This is just the way I've always done it!!!"
You guys are obviously suffering from severe cabin fever. Glad winter is almost over. Put on a coat and go outside and shoot until all symptoms relent!
