In a very few cases, I'd agree. But the people saying that rather insultingly assume that the person they're talking to HASN'T considered both sides. As opposed to considering multiple sides and making a decision that person 1 happens to disagree with which is what happens 95% of the time.

In theory, there's nothing inherently problematic about suggesting someone consider all sides of an issue before drawing a conclusion, but in practice, it tends to mean "the only way anyone could possibly disagree with me is if they're an idiot who only listened to the wrong side of the debate".
