when used for factual purposes

I think the point of the post is that anyone who uses it for this is a fucking moron.

Literally the only use I've found for it that's better than any other alternative is describing a thing to it that you can't remember the name of. It's usually right, and when it's wrong you were probably never gonna find the thing on your own anyway.

But I don't go to it first, only when I can't figure out how to find the name any other way.

Yeah, I've used it when I'm looking for a specific function I don't know the name of, and then I go read the documentation.

That's true, and my point is that the post didn't say that. The post specifically said something different that was not true.
