He who seeks advice seldom errs. True or false?

SomeMichGuyM
False, if he who seeks advice does so from an online social site, getting the full genius of whatever group of internet idiots happen to be online at the time.

I am not referring to you, @JustLikeGreta, but Yahoo!Answers has tons of queries such as "I have <symptom(s)>, is it serious?", as though a random assemblage of whoever happens to be online is better than a licensed medical professional who gets your history, does an in-person exam, and possibly orders further diagnostic tests to better differentiate one's diagnosis.

Because who BETTER to answer your query: a professional who has studied for years, is licensed, etc., or random gamers, etc., belching Mountain Dew & Slurpee's in their moms' basements as they play some big online game?

Hang on... [*slurrrrp* Mom, yes, I can turn down the music]

There. 馃槈馃槅

I partly agree.. but we have to be careful of bad advice.. too many people have an opinion and give advice on what suits them, what they think is best.. but it may not be best for us.. so.. we have to be discerning..
@Adaydreambeliever Good answer.

Well if you鈥檙e getting it from this site, no promises
@Deadcutie
True, unless u trust the person involved.

@JustLikeGreta absolutely not, I can鈥檛 even trust they are who they say they are

False. Advise can be taken or rejected and even if accepted it may not lead to one not erring.

False, the advice is not always very good.
