The problem has nothing to do with how you're finding your sources and everything to do with the lack of bothering to verify and understand them properly. What does it matter if you got your source list from tea leaves so long as you validate the information in the sources? Nothing replaces actually going out and verifying anything yourself (yet) but that doesn't make tools which do a first past somehow to blame for someone's laziness while tools that put no effort in at all are supposed to be just fine.
