Knowing how to quickly look something up isn't a bad skill. The problem is when that's all they do

Sure, look up specific configuration points or architectures, but looking up AD is a bad sign.

When in doubt I ask them what RAID 45 is.

Ooo and there's even a serious looking page "explaining" it as the first result when looking it up on Google

I'm definitely stealing this idea
