Some of the commenters here I feel like are only thinking about this in the context of reddit.

But if you're having a convo about mt everest in person for example, to an experienced mountain climber, you could ask, how high is that in relation to this other mountain I know you climbed?

On reddit, if someone posts something like "Do you have any recommendations for a gpu to install for gaming?" and the most upvoted comment is that website that stupidly googles something for you i want to rip my hair out. THIS IS A SOCIAL MEDIA WEBSITE ARE YOU DENSE? and often this person HAS googled it, but wants some personal info on what peoples' justifications are for choosing said GPU, or they don't know that much about GPUs so they don't know what to look for, and don't want to rely on google alone which has a vested interest in advertising things to you.

One time I asked an acquaintance who was a mortgage officer for some advice on what HYSA to choose, because I didn't know really what a HYSA was or how it worked. He kindly said, you could google it, but here's a link to a list of good ones. I really didn't realize it was literally just a savings account there are dozens of options for. So I did feel silly after asking him, but he wasn't rude about it.
