I've never had an experience like the one you describe.Everyone has different knowledge and understanding and I see no harm in sharing it. You have to form your own opinions, of course, but there's no reason to be afraid of the idea that someone else's opinions might influence you in some way. The more different perspectives you can gather, the better, if you ask me.
