Relying on common sense for critical information is a trap. You’re “googling” because you don’t know. The incorrect answer might be just plausible enough for you to believe it. This is why credible sources are important, to act as a sort of fallback to authority (I trust “source X” to provide correct information).
Don’t worry, eventually Google’s current project to replace all their own search results with their own “AI” sludge will make using them impossible to get credible information from too. :(
