I think sometimes it is also the case of knowingly what to Google for, and being able to pick out the correct answer.
For example, recently I was involved in a cache issue for an android phone. One of the answers on Google was to download some sort of cache cleaning program. Of course, I knew that this was likely to be a security risk, but others would have downloaded it.
People are naturally wary about this thing, so sometimes I don't mind if they'd prefer not to Google and implement a solution themselves.
