I learned Linux this way a decade and a half ago when it was far (and still is imho!) more convenient to quickly search a man page than google something. (with slow internet start times, browser startup times, etc)

Now, sometimes when people watch me work in a shared session they comment on my "peculiar" (to them) usage of flipping between -h --help and man $command, because there's a whole lot of switches I have memorized over time, but even more that I just have good reference points for.

But, bar none, what I've noticed among my peers is that the people that have always bowed to quick google solutions never really have taken the time to learn what they're doing. They almost always seems to be the 'quick fix', 'get it working now, sort it out later' types.

I often use google to find the answer, then go read the man page for it.
