Dear Common,
Your source is discussing where the Rav is your equal. (Nothing about voiding your own ideas.) In those days, questions were brought to the beis medrash. There was no concept of asking a Rov, until roman persecutions closed our Holy Places.
Taking advice on life issues is definitely recommended, but not from online comments. Do not misunderstand me. I very much would not make decisions alone. The issue was who has the say on porch minyanim. It was brought up eating on Y”K if the Rov says not too. It is known that if there is no Doctor, we rely on the advice of the indivdual who is ill. it does not mention to ask the Rov. The Rov should say to feed the ill whatever they request.
