Nonsense! Google is merely an extension of your memory. You could consider Google to be a part of your brain...It's so good, it helps you remember things you didn't even know!
I use Google all the time in these discussions. Usually I have a foothold on the subject, and googling helps me to amplify or fill out my thoughts. I can verify things I think I know. I can find out things that I believe are pertinent to the topic, but don't have specific knowledge about. I can learn that my memory is sometimes so good, I remember things that aren't even true!
In a way, the stuff in the wet matter inside your skull is just the OS. Google is the storage.
