I regularly use this to my advantage. Though other people's solutions often don't consider all the edge cases or complexity, they are not without merit. I often find I can adapt a suggestion to make it work, or solve one part of the problem. In the best cases, someone else can identify something you were worried about as a not as big a deal as you thought, think of a totally different solution/workaround to it, or even identify it as a non-problem.

This is aside from the rubber duck effects[0] of just explaining your problem to someone else.
