I think relying on google might be too far, but there is certainly a middle group. My linux tools usage vastly improved by switching to a newer shell , with auto complete, pop up man pages, syntax checking arguments before executing, etc. Same with vim and tmux. Also using modern cli tool replacements that rust made popular. I wasted so much time when I was younger remembering things that provide a very small to no advantage if you do the above instead.

So, I'd say, google can be wrong, the ideal case is modify your existing tools as needed to maximize discoverability and minimize friction to actual documentation
