    This is one of the negative impacts of one of the positive sides of the internet.   Massive amount of information available at your fingertips leads to information overload.   

    You want to make the "best" choice possible using the information available - except the information is contradictory and you have no way of knowing which is "right" (if any).   Pretty much any question you can ask, you'll find "experts" on the internet (and off the internet) who will give you diametrically opposed answers.

    And they'll use the same data to do so, just interpreted and presented differently. :)

    YEah, exactly.  A lot of the time it's muddied that people express their own person preferences as absolutes.   Like half the "experts" will say "You should *always* do this"  and the other half will say "You should *never* do this".
