Often, we find ourselves in situations where the only people who know the answer to our questions are people who are biased. What can we do to ensure that we get accurate information? Here are some examples gleaned from this very website:
1. You go to buy a kallah bracelet and you ask the proprietor what “normal people” are buying these days.
2. You go to a lawyer to discuss whether you need a lawyer for a particular transaction or potential lawsuit.
3. You go to a kashrus organization to find out whether a certain food needs a hashgacha.
4. You ask a poseik whether something is a shailah.
