I dunno, I know people who's problem-solving skills amount to "paste the error message into Google and try the first solution". I want people who can derive a solution from first principles because often that's what you need to do.
Of course not. Its just fast and in many(mostly trivial and boring) cases the problem is already solved. Lets just say that sometimes its a better idea to just google for something instead of trying to figure it all out and in some cases-reinvent the wheel.
