What do you think about asking questions that can easily be answered elsewhere?

I’ve noticed a lot of questions being asked on here that can easily be found on Wikipedia or Google. For example, “How much is it to fly from NY to Hawaii?” (no offense).

What do you think about these types of questions. Clearly, a simple search on any airline would have revealed the desired results. Do these types of questions make Fluther what it is or is the community striving for deeper waters?
