Until you come across people who can't even do that.

I'm unsure of your age, but I was a developer before Google was a thing, and researching your answer, using Gopher, Usenet, and/or books was very much how we solved problems.

Honorable mention: talking to that Old-office-coffee-stained-teeth-sys-admin-who-probably-forgot-more-about-computers-than-I-ever-knew.

I’m not saying knowing how to google isn’t a necessary skill with unequal distribution. I’m saying that’s not the pathway that’ll take her as a front end web dev and allow her to write the underlying malware that the front end provides a UI around.

It’s as meaningless a statement as “I know how to read books so I can learn new skills.”
