It depends on the nuance. Asking about basic, factual information? Yeah, that’s what search engines are for. Asking about something with a fairly well defined answer but there are varying opinions worth a conversation? Sure, this is the place.

Don’t ask me what year Abraham Lincoln was born. But if you want to know how successful he was? There are plenty of statistics you could look up, but also a lot of opinions on what success looks like and how valuable his actions actually were. Worth discussing.
