It seems that they tested the remembering on data that is uninteresting or/and useless to the subjects. It makes perfect sense not to remember such information and even more so when one knows it's googleable. On the other hand (insert anecdata disclaimer here) I have found out that Google does not prevent me from remembering things like git options or obscure facts I had to dig up as ammunition in flamewars I participated in.
