Every Google search you do is a lost opportunity for an unexpected conversation. Imagine never meeting a wife because you did a Google search instead.

Also imagine meeting your wife because you did a search query. Since we're in a purely hypothetical plane, both of these are equally plausible.
That doesn't make any intuitive sense.

Meeting people starts with conversations.

Searching an answer to your question on the internet doesn't mean you're not talking about it to someone else.

By your logic, we'd literally be silent 99% of the time, because 'we have all the answers,' which is nonsense.

Not the way I do it.
How do u do it?
Imagine never meeting a wife because you used a self-checkout, pumped your own gas, drove a car instead of taking an Uber, read a FAQ instead of calling customer support, watched TV instead attending local theater, played Minesweeper instead of Fortnite, or commented on Hacker News instead of going speed-dating.
