Segal's law

Segal's law states that "A man with a watch knows what time it is. A man with two watches is never sure."

A man with one watch can't really be sure he knows the right time, he merely has no way to identify error or uncertainty.

Nevertheless, the saying is also used in its purely surface sense, to caution against the potential pitfalls of having too much potentially conflicting information when making a decision.
