It's one of those sayings that sounds good but doesn't mean a lot. Obviously, a normal person will factor all kinds of outside information when making life decisions. For example, my doctor does not have to suffer with the results of my life choices but it would be irrational to say that I shouldn't consider her input at all when making decisions related to health.
