The point you make could be valid, depending on the situation. O don’t agree that all requests for advice require hearing two sides of an issue. We have had people ask for advice in feeding their babies, how to go about dealing with celiac disease, if we have to give our in-laws kovod, should FFBs go out with Baalei Teshivah, etc. These are issues that might or might not require looking at all sides, but opinions may abound that could be helpful, even when you only have a little information. There is a great deal of wisdom in the CR (as well as shtuss, at times). So you need to be boreir and pick and choose what resonates with you, and ignore what does not. For all other things always ask your LOR.
