I’d trust myself not to follow bad advice. I’d probably be willing to ask a person I didn’t respect very much for advice, even if I knew I wasn’t going to follow it, just as a chance to explain why I’m going to do what I’m going to do, so that they understand why we disagree, and don’t feel like I’m just ignoring them. You can’t create an atmosphere of fake agreement by just not confronting the disagreement. They’ll see what you’re doing.
