This kind of thing isn't entirely wrong, but misses some important things and suggests that what we do on these forums is something that can be conflated with the so-called "sport" of "debating", or even worse, that we're just using some kind of linguistic "trick".
"Research" is kind of important but not nearly important as developing your rationality/analytical ability. I Googled way more back when I sucked (because I knew that I sucked) than I do now and I still sucked. To the extent linguistic ability is important, it's only important insofar as it allows you to put the "products of rationality" into appropriate words.
