So, explain this to me like I'm 5. If Google search means you don't need to remember any knowledge any more, why is it that possession of an English-Greek dictionary does not render one capable of speaking both languages fluently?

You can look up all the words you want. Assume you have a grammar of each language at hand, also. Do you think you would be able to speak fulently or understand a fluent speaker of a language you don't know?
