I don't think you should have been downvoted so much. It's smart to recognize an internal-to-self conflict and ask questions. I don't think 'Someone smarter than me should tell me what to think.' is a good endpoint though. Expert opinions are very important to the decision making process, but, I would suggest to never give blanket access to another over your own thoughts. It sucks to be wrong sometimes, but, just keep thinking and trying, and I think the journey will be beneficial. ( Sorry for how weird that all sounds, I wanted to respond, but I'm not sure how to best phrase my thoughts here )
