I suspect that one problem is that many of us don’t learn well enough. For example, there are a variety of halachic opinions regarding eruvim and tzniut, just to mention the two areas mentioned in this discussion, and much of the latter is situational rather than objective. Yet many of us only learn the opinion of our own teacher, or our teacher’s teacher, and much later are stunned to find that many of great stature disagree with that opinion.
