      There is value in talking to people, but that has nothing to do with a question or situation you might Google or look up in a book. These are fundamentally different things.

      Subjective information is inherently less valuable than objective information for trying to learn something unless you are writing a survey paper. If you want to have a chat to combat loneliness or try to better understand your grandmother you’re not answering a question so you wouldn’t look it up anyway. If you’re googling what it feels like to make a roux you are probably not neurotypical.
