And experts are remarkably out of practice answering (or listening to questions carefully) because Google exists, which reinforces everyone's reluctance to ask humans anything. It can be like pulling teeth to get a sensible answer to the question you actually asked; but then my barista only gives me the decaffeinated coffee I asked for if the first word I utter is "decaffeinated," too. We're all not used to answering questions properly, by now, 'cause questions are what search engines are for, nowadays. But I agree with brachi - if you ask a human, you're more likely to find the related question you should have asked instead, or as well, for example.
