You're saying she's dumb because she Googles the answer.. not the part where she hosts malware on her own domain? Maybe voluntarily travelling to the US from a country with no extradition deal with the US? It's the Googling that does it haha

Being able to search is a legitimate skill that relatively few have too. We will probably disagree a bunch here, I can't be fluffed to have that to and fro -- so I downvoted and moved on

That wasn’t what I was saying. All of the things you mentioned made her come off as not very smart. Google = skill development is a separate point I took issue with.

I also didn’t say that searching itself isn’t a skill. Of course it is. I’m saying that advertising you know how to Google doesn’t mean you can acquire any new skill, which is what the bio implied.

Disagree with this. You can acquire skills using Google. You can build a curriculum and a path by Googling on a domain you don't know a fuck about. It can give you a head start. I learnt Mathematics in same way. Being able to find Dr Keith Delvin was Godsend.

It's much like Blackbox testing you know.

Then I and possibly others misinterpreted what you were saying. Personally it's the wording that did it for me, I dunno about others. I've never bumped into skill development as a phrase so it got parsed wrong I guess. Put a rogue "in" between skill and development and there's the downvote

For what it's worth because I replied my downvote was nullified
