In fact, speaking about the problem of advice and analyzing the reason why people ask it and whether they know the answer for their question beforehand, it is necessary to point out that this question is highly subjective and extremely personalized. Nonetheless, in my opinion it is still the individual that takes the decision and people do ask for advice even though they already know the answer.
