With my kids i never told them to look something up in the literal dictionary, but i would tell them to look at wikipedia or "google it". Not about profound questions, though; although a definition of "profound questions" might jog a memory. We do look things up in an etymology dictionary (i have 5 or 6) sometimes, though.

Now, instead of digging in a card catalog or asking a librarian, and then thumbing through reference books, i can ask an LLM to see if there's even information plausibly available before dedicating any more time to "looking something up." As i've been saying lately, i use copilot to see if my memory is failing.
