You think that there cannot be two answers/behaviours equally good and acceptable prompted by the same initial information input?

Of course, some people's decisions make me wonder, but it's their choice. I don't expect for example my friends who are in many areas similar to me, to always reach similar conclusions as me. Sometimes we agree and sometimes we don't. And sometimes both version are possible.
People have different goals in their lives so I imagine they choose different paths to get there.
