Usually the best way to find out answers to questions is to do a single google search. If present the search result that includes the domain “wikipeida.org″ usually gives decent answers quickly.
The parent would be greatly improved by replacing the ‘usually’ with a more representative frequency (“sometimes”) or including a qualifier.
You’re right—and I think this is a common failure mode of the population at large, but my most common failure mode is not finding something in a quick google search then failing to just ask someone else who probably knows while either wasting too much time searching or giving up. At the risk of the typical mind fallacy, perhaps this is the most common failure mode of the average LW member as well. If the grandparent could somehow be changed to target people like me better, I think that would improve it the most.

Okay, well, edited it to be a lot more specific at the cost of punchiness, which I suppose was pretty much the point.
