That's not the question. The suggested better approach is using outdated google results which is bad. You will manually filter all things ? And then go find a new list... Shit mate, google maps also has wrong and outdated information, already had it a few times listing closed shops as open.

Basically you're saying using algorithm and partially accurate lists instead of one made by a human. The rest is just you pushing your bias to make assumptions since you have no idea.

If using guides is "letting someone do the thinking for me" then I should go in the country and visit all shops by myself and then do my own guide to see what I should visit?
