Lol! You have zero clue. I’m close to the opposite of the on line spectrum. I learned how to be informed in the old days, when we were taught his to read and research.
When I don’t know something, I look it up. In discussion forums, I read the other comments before making my own, usually. If someone tells me I’m wrong, I go see what shows up elsewhere on the topic. Most importantly, I’m not immediately condescending or insulting.
Okay, I’ll bite. Other than going to a full-featured library, or contacting the nearest university with expertise on the desired topic, what does count as research for a layperson?
